THEGURU is correct; however, it didn't work out as Chinese rulers from Qin onward thought. The Mongols invaded and took over China. The northern border was never secure from sporatic raiders. The silk route usually passed well south of the Great Wall and wasn't really protected by it. Like Hadrian's Wall and the French WW I fortifications, invaders just went around or over.
