The statement is false; the Great Wall was rebuilt primarily to defend against Mongol invaders rather than Japanese. The significant reconstruction occurred during the Ming dynasty to prevent further threats from the northern steppes, not from the sea to the east. Thus, the Great Wall's main focus was to protect against invasions from the Mongolian territories.
