The Great Wall of China is being destroyed

One of the most widespread and accepted myths is that the Great Wall of China can be seen from space. But it is a false myth; Neil Armstrong himself stated that continents, great lakes and other natural elements could be distinguished from the Moon, but that from there no man-made structure was perceived.

Well, it seems that it will be increasingly difficult to see the wall from the earth. UNESCO says that the monument must be protected; Den Xiaoping launched in 1984 the campaign “Love our China, we will restore our wall”. Useless. The Chinese State Cultural Heritage Administration announced last June that over 2,000 of the original 21,000 kilometres have completely disappeared. And many others are lost every year. The poorest citizens have always taken stones from it to build their houses and, in recent years, the wall is crumbling in thousands of smaller fragments to sell to tourists. Their displacements and rains do not favor the structure either.

The restoration of the 61-kilometre section in Shandong province has been budgeted for: 208 million yuan (€30 million). The multiplication makes it easy to deduce that the complete and correct protection of the Great Wall of China is not possible.

The joke of a million swimmers is from the time of Mao’s 1953 video, which someone has put back into circulation in connection with the tariff dispute. I mean, from the year Xi Jinping was born, who now seems to be joining him.

Does Trump know where the strategic island is that makes China and the Philippines meet?
When the U.S. urbs of the world empire, and all the land on their periphery, are trying to account for Donald Trump’s second legislature, tension is still booming over the next four years, certainly in the South China Sea, one of the major hotbeds of attention.
