The area, known as the 32nd Great Wall, is one of the surviving complete walls...
*was
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two people have been detained in China after allegedly damaging a section of the Great Wall in the northern Shanxi province with an excavator, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
Authorities in Youyu County said they received a report on August 24 that a gap in the wall was created in Yangqianhe Township, CCTV reported.
After an investigation, police found a 38-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman had used an excavator to breach the wall in order to create a shortcut to pass through, causing “irreversible” damage to the integrity and safety of that portion of the wall, the broadcaster said.
Police said the investigation was ongoing.
The area, known as the 32nd Great Wall, is one of the surviving complete walls and watch towers dated back to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and is listed as a provincial cultural relic site.
The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
The original article contains 152 words, the summary contains 152 words. Saved 0%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Goddamn Mongolians!
When you really need that shortcut
Shortcut to prison
This is interesting. China over the years has destroyed so many of its ancient buildings, for the simple reason as a road overpass at times, that this seems almost laughable.
Yeah, but if you try to tear down an ancient building because it’s in your way with no permits or permission, it’s not really gonna go well for you in ANY country.
found the armchair expert!
I've been there many times over 25 years. Particularly about 20 years ago it was at the worst I saw. Massive, beautiful buildings, one i saw they claimed was close to 1000 years old, literally being destroyed for a shitty exit lane for a road. I can't even describe the scale of the loss of history the world will never see, over the recent decades.
Sounds fair
Yes, I agree. They should be detained.
