That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

That's a real good question, one to which I don't have an answer.
It seems to me like there would be a great deal of risk for them to do that.
But then, why are they making so much effort to position themselves to shut off water, power, and gas?
Maybe they'll use it as a prelude to an outright attack? It's hard to know for sure. This seems like at least part of their motivation: https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/international-relations/xi-and-putin-s-taiwan-invasion-files-leaked-full-scale-2027-plan-confirmed/vi-AA1SB2cc
But surely they have some secrets.
That does make me wonder what China's outcome of that would be. At this point, the US has alienated so many allies, I have to wonder if we'd still have their full backing or if it would be conditional on tariffs.
Edit: Just saw this in a chat: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3337652/chinese-military-simulated-battles-near-mexico-cuba-and-taiwan-cctv-report-shows
The US is in a precarious international situation here
Some countries would side with the US, and some would oppose China but not side with the US
I feel you're 100% correct about this. The most concerning part is how fluid the situation looks to be. Too much uncertainty.
