I wonder if they will use LibreOffice or like many Chinese companies do fork it and change the name.

Do they publish the source changes?

I'm just curious lol. Historically China actually has provided some cool improvements for some FOSS projects. Notably some RISC-V stuff. Would be a shame if they stopped under some regulation.

Reveal all the backdoors? No way. They'll flaunt the GPL any day of the week and we won't know about the backdoors until 10 years after the CIA has already found, exploited, and mined 10 PB of data out of them.
