China says U.S. 'Great Wall' remark shows misunderstanding of history
2016-07-01
China on Thursday suggested the U.S. defense secretary brush up on his history after urging Beijing not to build a "Great Wall of self-isolation", saying the Great Wall was build to keep out invaders not as a hindrance to contact.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter made the remarks at a security dialogue in Singapore this month..."Those who have studied Chinese history all know that it [the Great Wall] was defensive," [Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman ] Wu told a regular monthly news briefing. "It was to keep out the cruel oppression of invaders."
Current US political leaders seem to have a blind spot regarding protection against invasion.
