The real reason is to make it known that they (Reds) will militarily react if SOMETHING happens to the dam.
Then when the reds want a defensible reason to attack Taiwan, they blow up their "under construction" dam and then can tell the world that it was "self defense"
First you set the domino's up ...

You are right on target. If the dam breaks loose, the Communists save face by claiming Taiwan, when really is was poor construction.

Wasn't there something a few years ago about them declaring a certain carrier a strategic asset, saying that if it were attacked they would be justified in using the nuclear option? (or was that some book I read...). Seems mighty convenient...
