Is this a scam? If yes, how does it work?

I found an email in my Gmail spam folder which has the Gmail trusted sender icon. This seemed strange as I never saw this on spam, and it is making me uncomfortable. I can't figure out what this message is, whether it is a scam, and if it is a scam, then how it might work.

The message is in Chinese (which I can't read), and appears to be a notification from Google that someone's (not mine) Gmail recovery email address has changed.

Does this mean that someone put in my email address as recovery email? Why would they do that?

Here are screenshots of the email, a google translated version, as well as the original source.
