Abstract

This paper aims at demonstrating and explaining why the China-Canada relations remain "tepid" for a long time. The article argues that the mismatch of state structure and social cognition is the main factor leading to the tepid state. The former is the objective outcome of states' heterogeneous; the latter is the subjective response to China's rising power. At present, structure and cognitive conflicts between China and Canada are still difficult to eliminate, the prospects of the bilateral relations will be not optimistic but keep tepid. China-Canada relations can be consolidated and developed in the future through deepening the interests-link, strengthening the mechanism construction and accumulating the social capital.
