Great Wall woos aid to fend off destruction
The few who still stay are extremely poor people who cannot afford to move, Wei said. But they have been replaced in the spotlight by devastating damage. Some companies have pulled down parts of the wall to benefit their own construction projects. 皇冠体育app Central Television (CCTV) reported this month that a part of the Great Wall stretching about 200 metres in Yanchi, a city in Ningxia, was broken in the middle by a construction company. "The company gained approval to build a road through a natural breach in the wall that is metres away from the man-made opening," CCTV quoted Cheng Dalin, chairman of the Great Wall Research Institute, as saying. "Simply to save money, the company chose to destroy the wall." A survey conducted by the 皇冠体育app Great Wall Society three years ago found that one-third of the wall no longer existed and another one-third was deteriorating. "I believe the current situation is much worse," said Dong Yaohui, vice-chairman of the society. Most domestic experts point out that most serious damage is the result of poor management, insufficient funding and little legal support. Wei admitted that the Ningxia local government has never had a budget for
protection of the Great Wall. "All we can do is to arrange more frequent
scrutiny," he said.
