"The Jeju Naval Base Project"

I heard about "the Jeju Naval Base Project" through the presentation in class. I was surprised because Jeju island became UNESCO and the seventh of the tourist spot in the world. Many counries are also trying to protect the beautiful nature of Jeju. But Korean government try to make a plan about the Jeju Nava Baxe Project. Why do they they have this plan? We should have to know and consider about this issue.

Korean government make a project to build the Jeju naval base in Kang-jung village. Because Jeju is located in middle of China and Japan. That place is near from two countries more than other area in Korea. And it is easy for USA troop to assist to Korea. So they can press the North Korea and China easily. If we build this base, we can threaten around the country like Japan which has instied that Dokdo is in their territory, China, North Korea.

But it is just short thoughts. I think if we make this base, there arrays limited army and no threaten arms. So they can't threaten around the countiries, just waste money. Rather it will give a disadvantage to the economy and the environment of Jeju. First the environment is destroyed because of naval base. The contaminants in naval base will pollute the sea and all ecosystem. Second, Due to destroyed environment, the value of tourist spot in Jeju will be gradually declined. It will be canceled in UNESCO.
