do not fall for that. They are putting pressure on you to compel you to renew with them at exorbitant prices. This is a well-known and old scam, and you can google it.
I have for all of my registered domain names over the past 20 years received those same emails, and I never budged. No one ever registered the web sites as threatened. LibreOffice is a TM, and you hold libreoffice-NA.US. If in fact they register, Chinese IP rights have gotten a lot better. Again, do not fall for it.
