So are big parts of western and northern Melbourne - so what's your point?

I did climb almost to the top of the Great Wall when in Beijing a few weeks back.
The higher one got, the fewer the climbers on the Wall. By the time I turned around (ran out of time and had to get back to bus), there were only 3 other people up there.

The section of the "wall" they take tourists to was mostly rebuilt in the 1950s - and it looks like they went to Bunnings to get some pavers. If, when you're driving to that site, you have a look up on the ridges of the mountains you're passing you'll see the remnants of the wall that weren't so helpfully restored.

I've been there and it is certainly impressive, but I've also read about how most of the wall's 5000 kilometres (there are actually several walls) are in ruins.

So, Made in China is not necessarily a good thing, right?

It's an impressive wall, if walls are your thing.
