They know we can’t beat them in a conventional war on their home turf and that we’d be forced to engage them in a nuclear exchange.

One Cruise missle hit on the Three Gorges Dam, war over, we win

I can't predict who would win the war if the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) were hit. But I would like to throw out a bit of statistics. When the TGD first broke ground back in the early 90's, the planned facility would have represented 11% of China's power output if it had been brought online then. Today, it represents a mere 3% if brought fully online. And in 20 years time, potentially the TGD's 18,000 Mega Watts of power would only represent 1% or so of China's electricity output. So China has grown considerable and will continue to grow as an industrial power.
