Yes, it’s a terrorist threat. The point of the threat is to scare Wikipedia editors away from editing the site so they can fill it with their propoganda.
Yeah, but that’s not really what im talking about. If doxing is terrorism, then doxing is terrorism. If it isn’t then it isn’t. “Rules for thee but not for me” doesn’t really fly outside of circlejerks.
Left wing murderers aim for the rich, right wing murderers aim for the people. Show me the left wing serial killer aiming for fox news indoctrinated neonazis, and we might feel differently.
When the state executes a convicted murderer, it is not terrorism. If someone murders their spouse out of jealousy, it’s not terrorism. When a serial killer murders 10 people, it is still not usually terrorism.
But when a radical minority group wants to push their political/religious agenda and subdue, oppress the general population by randomly murdering a bunch of them - that IS terrorism.
All of the above are murders, but not all of them are terrorism.
The same is true for every other type of aggression, including doxing. They can be used for many things in many cases. They can be used as a means of oppression, or the oppressed can use them to fight back against oppression. Almost all forms of aggression can be used for the good of society (e.g. by the police against criminals, or by the revolutionists against their oppressors) and of course for bad reasons as well. It all depends on the situation.
So no, doxing does NOT equal terrorism. But it can be used as such.
When someone is dangerous, like one who spouts Nazi propoganda, I can see a reason for them to be doxxed. But that’s not the case here. China wants to send the reds after the people who write factual information on Wikipedia pages they don’t like.
If they do that, Wikipedia is going to die because nobody wants to be assaulted for a volunteer gig.

I vaguely remember republicans calling folks terrorists that doxed people for pushing nazi propaganda. Everyone was clowning on them then.
Wikipedia is not pushing nazi propaganda.
