    Destroying Shanghai and every other settlement on the Yangtze River is certainly a way to make everyone on the mainland want to mobilize against you

        fortunately this is just a random internet person and also there is an entire Chinese state there in place to prevent people blowing up the dam

      It would be completely reasonable to treat an attack on the three gorges dam as the equivalent of a nuclear strike both in the devastation and deaths it would cause. This is legitimately the one exception to the no first strike rule that would be entirely justified.

      the dam bursting would also destroy Vietnamese rainforest. I'm SURE making Vietnam mad would have no major consequences.
