This chapter looks at how ancient Chinese moral and philosophical ideas and concepts are appropriated, creatively constructed, and reinterpreted by Chinese International Relations (IR) scholars as they put the study of history of ideas of Chinese world ordering in conversation with ongoing IR theorization. Three ideas examined are respectively the conception of power and moral leadership inquired by Yan Xuetong, the concept of Tianxia fundamental to a global political philosophy proposed by Zhao Tingyang, and the idea of Zhongyong central to the construction of a relational theory of world politics by Qin Yaqing. Performing this archaeology of knowledge of concerning contending ideas of historical Chinese world ordering, it is argued, is a bold and determined attempt to bring Chinese ideas and knowledge to challenge as well as enrich existing IR theories. It also serves to reclaim international thought in ancient China as foundational to a global history of international thought.
