You should actually read the paper. An IP user making edits to a controversial Wikipedia page is nothing like what this paper is talking about. To summarize:

1. The Chinese government has a massive, coordinated effort to post on social media to serve their propaganda goals.

2. That effort attempts to distract from things they don't want people to consider, rather than just loudly pushing the party line.

The methods are interesting. It is worth noting however that it's not the any gov't wouldn't want to do this, or even doesn't.
