Even if the Republic of China has a bomb large enough to seriously damage
the 3 gorges dam they lack the means to deliver that bomb to the target.
This in contrast with communist China who have ICBMs, SLBMs and
intercontinental bombers carrying multi-megaton nuclear weapons.

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

Actually they don't have "intercontinental" bombers. Not unless you
mean flying from Eastern Europe to Western Asia. A B-52 is an
intercontinental bomber, a Tu-16 is not. The Tu-16 is more in the
class of the B-47. Not that it matters when they're only flying to
Taiwan. Trying to get them there would be a bad idea though and China
doesn't have so many ICBMs that they'd waste one on Taiwan. Not to
mention if they ever went nuclear they'd have DEFINITELY made life
interesting for themselves.
