Climate change has become one of the most important threats for the world, which is the common challenge for US and China. Although some scholars are optimistic about the cooperation on climate changes between U.S. and China, factors that could greatly affect this process of cooperation to a large extent also exist, including competition for the global status, the argument of responsibilities undertaken by two difference kind of country with different development degree and even the alternation of regime, which cause the cooperation between the two countries extremely unstable. In the article, we will analyze the instability from the aspects of US-China competition for global leadership, mismatched expectation of responsibilities of carbon reduction, contentions over political disputes and also the fickle US domestic politics.
