Some State actors are involved (Russia is suspected) but it is still
being investigated.
I think the main suspect was CCP China, but sure it could have been any
actor from the Axis powers.
China is on the list, yes, as is Russia, but IMO North Korea is pretty high on the list, as are other government-level bad actors... including Washington, D.C. The name "Jia Tan" might have been selected as a deliberate misdirection (although if I were to choose an alias for such purposes, I wouldn't choose a name suggesting a culture I'm not familiar with; I'd go with "Bob Smith" or similar.)
The name "Jia Tan" has been criticised for mixing Cantonese and Mandarin phonemes, so perhaps someone did reference a culture that they do not
know, or perhaos this is deliberate misdirection.
