	Defensive wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chinese cities occasionally have remnants of city walls that were built in the Ming Dynasty and designed to withstand artillery bombardment.
		The practice of building these massive walls, though having its origins in prehistory, was refined during the rise of city-states, and energetic wall-building continued into the medieval period and beyond in certain parts of Europe.
		Generally, these are referred to as city walls or town walls, although there were also walls, such as the Great Wall of China and the Atlantic Wall, which extended far beyond the borders of a city and were used to enclose vast regions.

		Some Wall Street and City of London scandals in recent years have made something of a mockery of the notion of Chinese Walls, with well-placed executives of respectable firms trading illegally on inside information for their own benefit.
		For example, a 'Chinese wall' is said to exist between the corporate advisory area and the broking division, to separate those giving corporate advice on takeovers from those advising clients about buying shares.
