| Sino-Japan communication has a long history. However, since the reestablishment of diplomatic relation, Sino-Japan ties have always been unstable, and such kind of situation continues. As one of China’s most important international relations, the developing situations of Sino-Japan relations have been playing a critical role in fulfilling China’s strategic goal of "peaceful rising".At present, Sino-Japanese economic ties are not heating up along with cold political ties. In these circumstances, it is more necessary to attach importance to study Sino-Japan relations.By reading former works on Sino-Japan relations, we can find that most of domestic and foreign scholars emphasize particularly on Realism, liberalism and internal factors, but these paradigms and visual angles are not all-sided and can’t comprehensively explain Sino-Japan relations, so we need some new paradigms and theories to study Sino-Japan relations furthermore. In this paper, the writer attempt to use constructivism to study Sino-Japan relations.Constructivism is one of mainstream theories in west international relations (IR); it has particular sight that it introduces social studying methods into IR. Making use of constructivism to explain actualities of Sino-Japan relations, we can find that the essential of Sino-Japan conflicts are differences in role-cognizing of two sides and lack of trust. Pattern of Sino-Japan relations made in1970s is already not content with the need of China and Japan when their roles have changed, so, for improving Sino-Japan relations, we should begin from cultivating good shared culture between China and Japan, make great efforts to turn the current worsening trend of Sino-Japan relations, turn negative competitions as active good interactions. To sum up, cooperated, we profit; conflicted, we devastated. It is the golden principle which guides Sino-Japan ties. It is believed that only mature and stable Sino-Japan relationship benefits the long-term development for both countries. |
