The authour first reviews the history of cooperation and conflicts in Canadian Chinese community from 1858 to 1923. Then he mainly explores the factors leading to cooperation and conflicts within Canadian Chinese community from 1923 to 1999, focusing on the reasons that Chinese in Canada could act together toward the purpose of protecting their community while having some conflicts in ideas and interests among themselves. The author points out the factors which caused the conflicts were complicated: some were in political and economic forms, some in cultural and educational ones. The authour argues that the internal conflicts exerted positive as well as negative impacts on Chinese community. As social organizations are carrying out more economic activities in the recent years, the hostilities of different political factions are getting weaker. This turnes conflicts into cooperation；the shift reflects today’s world trend and will contribute to the development of Canadian Chinese community. .
