As environmental cooperation belongs to government-oriented cooperation, the Democratic Party's policy toward China and Sino-Japanese relations and the Democratic Party's international environmental policy and environmental policy toward China appear particularly important. The analysis of the Democratic Party's environmental policy and policies toward China is expected to provide a little learning for China's environmental cooperation with Japan during the Democratic Party's governance.After the Democratic Party takes power, Sino-Japanese environmental cooperation proceed steadily. China and Japan carry out positive and effective cooperation in the bilateral, multilateral and global environmental cooperation dimension. However, some problems still exist in the Sino-Japanese environmental cooperation. For this, China should take positive strategies.
