    In response to a suggestion by Taiwanese netizens that Taiwan's missiles could be used to destroy the Three Gorges Dam in response to an attack by China, a military expert says they would only cause tiny dents and described those who proposed the idea online as "military idiots would will continue to be mocked by China,"

    Continue mocking, comrades.

      It's essentially a mountain with a concrete candy shell on top. If humanity ceased to exist today, it would probably still be standing hundreds of thousands of years from now.

        Yeah the plan is about as realistic as trying to take down the Great Pyramid of Giza with RPGs.

        Also, even if Taiwan succeeds, they've just committed a horrible war crime and can't escalate further. They will not survive Chinese retaliation.

      Didn't the Kuomintang do something like that and they still lost?

          Ah so I guess they didn't really lose in that case, but it probably had repercussions.
