Usually when I see these things, I check if the author seems to have the right background. Yangjun Chen is a full professor at the University of Manitoba, but he doesn't seem to work in computer science theory.
It looks like the paper was previously published in a relatively low impact AI conference last year. It seems like it should be in FOCS, STOC, or a prestigious math journal to have significant credibility.

Theorists have failed to make headway on P=NP for decades, so it would be reasonable to assume that some insight from a different place would be required.
