Jeju
 Island ’s Gangjeong 
 Village , located off the southern tip
of the Korean
 Peninsula , is suffering from the
construction of a South Korean naval base. One might think this should be
acquiesced for the sake of national security. However, it has been concluded
that, for the sake of national security and peace, the base construction must be
stopped because the base would ruin not only this beautiful and peaceful
natural community, but also relations between South
 Korea and China .
Jeju Naval Base is highly likely to be used as a port call and, in the event of
a contingency, as a stopover or launching point for the U.S. Navy. Should the
Jeju base be used by the U.S. 
military for the purpose of blockading China ,
 China 
is expected to retaliate in various ways including diplomatic complaints and
economic retaliations, such as travel and trade restrictions. In a worst case
scenario, China 's
reaction could include military actions such as a retaliatory attack or
maritime transportation blockade. Construction of the Jeju naval base is likely
to worsen the arms race and negatively impact triangular relations among
 South Korea , China ,
and the United States .
