How China views the world is conceptualized in the Tianxia theory. China's foreign aid for pandemic recovery believes in the concepts of internalization of world order, relational relativity, and Confucianism Improvement. These values belong only to China, which explains why China has emerged as a differentiator on the international stage.
This study shows that unconventional IR theory is not just an alternative but an appropriate analytical tool to analyze specific issues. Future research is expected to find gaps in international relations and contribute to a new understanding of issues in international politics.
