Big wars are tough when you've got a single point of failure.

Even if it is compromised by structural inadequacies, it’s gonna take more than a “couple of missiles” to take out Three Gorges.
It will take something like a Massive Ordnance Penetrator (or three) or maybe a nuke. Anything less will just leave some scorch marks.
Unless they have some sort of specialist dam-busting weapons like the Barnes-Wallace bouncing bomb.

It’s 1,000 air miles from Taiwan to the 3 Gorges Dam. A subsonic missile attack would put the missile(s) in the air for about AN HOUR AND A HALF. So do you think China may be able to shoot them down since they ONLY have an hour an half to figure it out????

Do you think China cares if they lose a 100 million people?

They have slaughtered that many before, under Mao.

The Three Gorges Dam breaks....eh, less social spending by the communists.
