We discuss a possibility that a superconformal dynamics induces the emergence of a global U (1) PQ symmetry to solve the strong CP problem through the axion. Fields spontaneously breaking the U (1) PQ symmetry couple to new quarks charged under the ordinary color S U (3) C and a new S U (N) gauge group. The theory flows into an IR fixed point where the U (1) PQ breaking fields hold a large anomalous dimension leading to the suppression of U (1) PQ-violating higher dimensional operators. The spontaneous breaking of the U (1) PQ makes the new quarks massive. The U (1) PQ symmetry is anomalous under the S U (3) C but not under the S U (N) so that the axion couples to only the color S U (3) C and the usual axion potential is generated. We also comment on a model that the U (1) PQ breaking fields are realized as meson superfields in a new supersymmetric QCD.
