ONLY 2,500km remain of China’s 6,300km-long Great Wall, long known as a wonder of the world and its largest cultural relic, according to a newly released report from the Chinese Academy of the Great Wall.
Dong Yaohui, secretary-general of the academy, criticised short-sighted Chinese who have damaged some segments of the wall to save money by acquiring earth and bricks from the structure while haphazardly destroying the nation’s heritage.
