I think much of your speculation is idle given the Panopticon surveillance state the CCP has been constructing with recent technology, much of it their own. Just recently China’s version of the US GPS became fully operational. And China’s version, you can be sure, takes no account of individual privacy.

For someone to take the dam down, or carry out any significant atttack inside the PRC, they need to evade the Chinese surveillance state. I think that is very unlikely.
