Several of the “Chinese dynasties” were in fact foreign invaders who conquered China For what’s its worth

We’re not trying to stop an invading military force. We’re trying to impede and deter illegal immigration.

It limited raids but not invasions. China’s history is fairly complicated. Didn’t really come into play in the invasion/conquest of Ghengis Khan.

It was conquered and dominated by multiple foreign powers.

Wall/no wall didn’t have much impact.

I'm grateful for the walls, doors, and windows I live within, but I know should someone really want to enter or break-in they can.

However, I have other defense systems should they attempt it.
