Definition of Chinese, according to Cambridge dictipnary is “belonging to or relating to China, its people, or its language”. There’s no defition where troll is strictly nationality where as asset is not. Unless you choose to define it as such.

This is how I, and clearly many others, read your sentence. There is no one ‘correct’ way, but thats how I read it. It all depends on how you read that adjective

To put it better ‘Russian asset’ means the asset belongs to Russia, not just the person. Wherr troll is just a person.
can
When does troll mean a group?

Yes, a group of trolls is nothing. Where a group of spies belongs to a government.
