Excavator Shortcut: Great Wall of China Damaged

Two construction workers in northern China severely damaged a section of the Great Wall by using an excavator to create a shortcut for their work nearby. The suspects have been detained, and authorities have stated that the damage caused is irreversible and poses a threat to the cultural relic's integrity and safety. The Great Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been subject to preservation efforts due to the disappearance of about 30% of the Ming Great Wall in recent years. The Chinese government has implemented regulations and penalties to protect the ancient structure from vandalism and unauthorized access.
