First the Catholic pope (as distinct from the Coptic pope, Eastern pope, Russian pope) dares to infuriate the Chinese police state with a visit to neighboring Buddhist Mongolia ostensibly to see the massive country's miniscule Catholic population (1,450 total) when he's really there to signal and dog whistle to Chinese Catholics.

Did South Park go too far in depicting the Great Wall of China as a Chinese food restaurant guy's project against Mongolians or is it history by animation?

Two people have been detained after using an excavator to cut a hole in the Great Wall of China, said the state broadcaster CCTV.
Police in Shanxi Province followed tracks made by heavy machinery used to make a shortcut through a segment of the Great Wall -- remains of the immense structure built by [some lost civilization, according to Graham Hancock, prior to] China’s emperors to deter foreign invaders.
The suspects admitted under questioning that they had used a digger to create a shortcut in the Wall in an attempt to reduce local travel time, state media reported.
Construction of the Great Wall, which is split into sections that in total stretch for thousands of kilometers, began in the third century BC and continued for centuries.
The affected section, situated about a six-hour drive west of Central Beijing, dates back to China’s Ming Dynasty of the 14th through to the 17th centuries.
What if China's greatest architectural achievement was made by a civilization prior to the Han?
CCTV reported on Monday [9/4/23] that the suspects had caused “irreversible damage” to the Ming-era Wall, which was described as a “relatively intact” section of significant research value.
Images on Chinese TV showed the scene where a dusty road had been cut through a long, raised section of ground that appeared to be the remnants of the ancient barrier.

“Currently, the two suspects have been criminally detained in accordance with the law, and the case is continuing to be investigated,” said CCTV.
This just in! Motive: The vandals were "trying to save time" of having to go around the Great Wall. More
