The Taiwanese, according to Strategypage, have a far more lucrative target set as it turns out:
Meanwhile, back in China, the booming economy has revealed a serious military weakness; the electricity supply. China has not been able to build power plants quickly enough to keep up with an economy that has been growing ten percent a year for several decades. The power production and distribution systems are ramshackle, prone to breakdowns and vulnerable to wartime attack. Knocking out a few plants and distribution facilities could cause widespread power outages and severe shortages. Since the Chinese military is very dependent on civilian infrastructure in wartime, these power disruptions would impair any military activities.
That would bring home to the Chinese people the cost of going to war with Taiwan very fast. And it would help our aircraft to penetrate Chinese air space and operate at will over China.
Like I've written in the past, China used to be a backward lump of proletarian fury that could absorb massive blows and still survive with little of their power lost. Now their power is built on economic assets that can be destroyed. And their assets are not robust enough to endure much damage.
