I'm sure our DoD has looked into the possibility of creating a tsunami in case we were to go to war with China.

That would probably have some serious negative side-effects on friendly/allied nations nearby...

That goes completely without saying, but the DoD would be interested in doing it anyway. They can research ways to direct the tsunami and setup a proper warning system with said allies.

Heck they've already talked about taking out Three Gorges Dam in case of an attack on Taiwan and just think of how many people that would kill.

For instance, a tsunami directed towards China with enough power to be lethal 1km inland would affect approximately

(14500km) *(1km) * ( 419people /km^2) = 6,075,500people

Then a lot of their industry would be destroyed and they wouldn't be able to mount an invasion force to take Taiwan.

I'm not saying its the right way to handle the situation, but it should be an option.
