I don't know man. The failure of the three gorges dam wouldn't just represent a bad manmade disaster. It would represent the worst disaster in recorded history, with loss of life expected to be between 10 m and 60 million people. That's four percent of the population at the upper end.
That's like if the Hoover dam collapsed and washed away 12m people in the US. 12 million! And that's just the initial death toll.
And that's just people! That's nothing in comparison to the desperate situation that will arise out of the loss of farm land, infrastructure, power, among many other things.
They won't be able to blame anybody. They can try, but it will discredit the entire regime. Everyone will know someone who died due to the CCP's incompetence. Military service personal will have family that starved in the following famine. Loyalties will be strained up and down the command chain, and it would be a very bad idea at that point and time to be poking the bear that is the American war machine.
