In my case, it is 'got scanned'. And I just took a look at the inIFindex
from the related netflow and it appears that the inIFs point back to the
bgp peers which propagate this 4837 subnet. So it is likely these are
not spoofed traffic.

I guess probably China is famous for its loose of internet security
management and people won't doubt the validity when they get spam from
China.
