However, the South Korea media made fun of this serious survey and said the Great Wall of China could be stretched out and drew back freely like a rubber band and claimed that there was a political purpose behind the survey. It was all because that the Great Wall heritages identified during this survey include those located in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces of China, once the territory of Koguryo and Bohai state, whose citizens are believed to be Korean’s ancestors by Korean people. The Korea media thought China should exclude the Great Wall heritages located in their ancestors’ territory during the survey! So, what do you think?
