Hey OP .Wanna see something fun ? If three gorges breaks, there's eleven nuclear power plants downstream that would be hit with full force and completely flooded. There will be glowing water up to your waist in Shanghai. Quite the sight to behold.
And this is not accounting for the death of crops and livestock due to the lack of irrigation and drinkable water, the droughts, the industrial collapse from the lack of water or the flooding of industrial parks, the impossibility of navigation in that sector of the Yangtze river, the fact that Shanghai, China's main financial hub would look like New Orleans in 2005.

Yeah, that dam breaks, China breaks aswell
I would even go so far as to say, if that dam breaks, it will be deliberate. It will be a key sortie and turning point in the war. Their Pearl Harbor.
I believe that, in face of the possible consequences, it'd be more akin to the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
