China has an Achilles Heel; it is call the Three Gorges Dam. The water level at the dam head can be up to 175 metres. That, with the contents of three large valleys behind it is an enormous amount of water. Barnes Wallace taught the world how to break that and the resulting tsunami down the Yangtze River would cause a unprecedented disaster stretching all the way to Shanghai. Up to 400 million people would be effected.

Is Taiwan worth that?
