The Great Wall of ChinaDo you know about the Great Wall of China? Well, according to the Wikipedia, the Great Wall of China is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 15th century during the Ming Dynasty in order to protect China from Mongols and Turkic tribes:

The Great Wall of China, also known in China as the Great Wall of 10,000 Li¹ (), is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 15th century until the beginning of the 16th century, during the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect China from raids by the Mongols and Turkic tribes. It was preceded by several walls built since the 3rd century BC against the raids of nomadic tribes coming from areas now in modern day Mongolia and Manchuria. (source)

How about the Great Fire Wall of China? It is not a fire wall built within China to protect the nation from fire. It is actually a security software created and stablished by the government of China to filter websites that will be viewed by Chinese internet users viewing in China.

It has been said that the Great Wall of China banned the main site of Google according to some sources:

So it has been pretty much officially confirmed over the past few days that Google’s main website has been officially blocked in China by the Great Firewall of China. This leaves the door open for it’s Chinese version of the famous website to take over the task of finding sites that people desire…one problem though, this version is heavily censored. (source)

This device is used by the Chinese government in controlling the their citizens who are travelling around the world through the cyber-train.
