What was the weapon that the Pentagon authors think that Taiwan either has

now
or could develop that would breach the Three Gorges Dam?

Crap. Went to the link and found...more rambling rants from Henry himself!
Finally waded through the putrifying mass of illogical "analaysis" provided
by himself and found the DoD report *itself*--only to find no mention of
being able to breach Three Gorges, just a reference to a some Taiwanese
having expressed the *opinion* that they think Taiwan needs to develop a
capability to threaten high-value targets on the mainland, with Three Gorges
as an example. Let's see--taking down associated generators, substations, HV
transmission lines, and/or damaging gates, etc., all constitute "threats" to
Three Gorges, so this is apparently just another HJC "leaping to (wrong)
conclusions and supporting them with cites taken-out-of-context" exercise...
