Wouldn't do any good. The presidents of the last 30 years or so all campaigned on fixing our crumbling infrastructure and we have had billions of tax dollars thrown at energy issues. I am sure everything has been shored up by now.

China can't project maritime power. They're also dependent upon imports for 75% of their energy and calories. We'd close the Strait of Malacca and starve them. Taiwan, parts of Japan, and the Philippines might feel the pain temporarily, but we'd eventually starve China into surrender. There would be no need to ever put a boot on their soil.

Too many disincentives to go to war with us. Who would buy their shite?

I am loosely quoting here.
I don't know how a war with China would go but the war after would be fought with sticks.

The reservoir holds about 39–40 billion cubic meters of water—enough to create a massive wall of water rushing downstream.
Downstream populations along the Yangtze (including major cities like Yichang, Jingzhou, Wuhan, Nanjing, and Shanghai's broader floodplain) put estimates of people at direct/indirect risk in the hundreds of millions (roughly 300–400 million in the wider Yangtze basin).

There are plenty of unclassified war games on this exact scenario. Some have us winning, some have them winning.
But all of them share a few certainties:
1. The U.S. will lose multiple aircraft carriers.
2. The U.S. will run out of conventional munitions in approximately 45-60 days, increasing the chance we resort to tactical nuclear weapons.
3. The U.S. will need at least 2 years to restart our defense industrial base. In the meantime, tens of thousands of Americans will be killed in the Pacific.
