To penetrate into the closest hydroenergy facility to Taiwan would still be a distance of around 800km. Depending on the quality of the missiles (which would for Taiwan range from LRHW to crude Shahed copies), you are looking at a salvo of roughly 200 (if they're all LRHW) to 3000 (a high low mix resembling operation true promise) to have a high chance of hits.
This is not a capability that KMT fighters have on standby, but something they would need to obviously build up towards for a period, giving China plenty early warning that a terrorist WMD attack is incoming.
During that time, one way China can react is to simply hunt the launchers on the ground before they can fire. They can also put the estimated target dam into controlled flooding, which would eliminate the risk of a dangerous flash flood, but also damage the local environment if it keeps running for months.
A vital thing that pro KMT commentators should be always be aware of before calling for WMD terror attacks on China is that legally, there is nothing that stops China from using nukes inside China. No first use only applies to other states, and even that is voided by "an attempt to attack Chinese civilians indiscriminately", which an attack on a dam would constitute.
Presently, no one in China seriously considers testing nukes inside Taiwan province as a means to end the KMT presence. Because mainland Chinese civilians are 100% convinced that Taiwan's anti government activities cannot hurt or even kill them.
However, were an unambiguous attempt to kill tens of thousands of civilians by flooding a dam be livestreamed in a similar way the rocket attacks on Israel have been livestreamed and watched by OSINT across the world in addition to local civilians, this attitude of invulnerability would immediately change. As such, China would have not just the legal but now also the popular justification to instantly end the war by nuking for example major rebel strongholds in Hualien and Taichung.
While ordinarily, there would be no need to resort anywhere near as extreme measures, China should keep the option well advertised in the event where Taiwan is part of a larger war, and/or unusual circumstances present themselves, such as the risk of WMD terrorism. Situations that would demand China to cripple the internal enemies within a week, which low yield nuclear strikes can achieve.

It's been a long time since this was announced.
Unfortunately, nothing concrete has been done. A proper ban involving these exports would send the US and Europe reeling as they are trying to manufacture and restock weapons right now.
US drew first blood against Chinese Uyghurs and it's ON!!
Reminds me of the Uighur H-6 pilot who had something to say about foreign aircraft carriers…

Oh, I'm not disagreeing but there is no "simple fix." As I typically say, entropy is absolute. Over time minor inconsistencies and flaws add up and cascade leading to systemic failure.
What worked in the past, tends to become standardized, but that method becomes overly relied upon at the expense of other strengths or metrics. A strong military made Rome but having too many of them created constant Civil Wars in Rome. Civil Bureaucrats helped create Imperial China but having too many created Exam Cheating, Palace Intrigue, and Corruption. Once there are too many "elites," the field becomes crowded and they begin to turn into politicking to vie for every diminishing seat at the table. Before in Europe, you had dueling, now you have "canceling" to try to get rid of your class rivals.
Projection rule, it just never fails. Every doubt I have is immediately reassured, that is how reliable it is.
Nono, what I am saying is everyone understand its flaw, and there are countless example of times people challenge it. And time and time again, the challenge fails due to people gamify it, and people return to academic tests. It is a system that withstood incredible evolutionary pressure.
Why is security holding back the CN players? The US player started the fight, they should be the ones apprehended. Venue security are not real ones. Seeing the entire bench back up their boy #1 makes me happy.
