The Jeju Naval Base Project
What is more important between protecting Jeju’s wonderful environment and firming national security? Through the presentation about the Jeju naval base project, I wondered what is a better choice for us? Is it possible to get these two things at the same time? After searching various news and considering this subject from various angles, I had a conclusion at last.
Although the South Korea Navy doesn't have an appropriate naval station, the first duty that we have to do now is to protect our environment. Jeju island has abundant resources, especially marine resources and gorgeous nature. Many visitors, not just Koreans but also foreigners, are impressed being in touch with Jejudo's great nature. Jejudo achieved a self-sustaining economy through sight-seeing. The slogan of Jejudo is 'peace', so establishing the base means destroying the jeju's policy and economic viability.
Korean government tries to foil North Korean neclear experiment, but the US troop gains electricity by using miniature nuclear reactor. Is it righteous to depress North Korean Neclear system while using the neclear reactor for Korean navy? Could North Korea trust us and accept our opinion and demand?
This issue is not just about the environment, economy, politics, but also fame. The world takes note of Korea because on October 3, UNESCO named nine places on Jeju as 'geoparks.' World acknowledges Korean Jeju island as a wonderful eco-tourism spot. Nowadays world pays attention to nature, and that means we can get money and fame by protecting nature. Especially, Korean has lack of resources of tourism. If we lose this natural tourist attraction, we could miss the fame and money, of course.
We should also concern about near countries such as China and Japan. They worry about the US naval base and doubt the intention of the US. These countries say that the flag-out reason to build the base is that the US troop wants to control the Pacific Ocean, so they appeal to us sincerely that we do not allow the construction of Jeju Naval base. Is there any legitimacy to confront these nations for the base?
Other nations pour their efforts and money to recover their environment and nature, but Korea goes against the general. I'm sure that protecting our natural resources is the fist duty that doesn't have any altenatives, but we can find other altenatives for our national security. For our far future, I choose to protect our environment most of all.
If The Jeju naval base don't array much stronger arms, they will not threaten around the countries. it is just wasting the money.
답글삭제In my opinion, I want to develop naval base because we have to protect us. We can protect us from other countries if we have strong navy power.
