ABSTRACT
In contemporary international relations, Europe and the United States are the best concept innovators and have the most conceptual power. The energy and sustainability of being a great machine for concept innovation originated from the widespread use of major European languages, from the early European overseas expansion and colonial history, and from the Eurocentric cultural consciousness deeply rooted in the hearts of European politicians, experts, and scholars as well as the media and the public. Compared with Europe as a whole, the contemporary Chinese contribution to the world concept innovation is relatively fewer in general, mostly with an oriental color of philosophical thinking, grand and lofty, emphasizing morality rather than real interests, abstract but weak in operability. Another problem is that China's contributions were mainly from political leaders, while the creative ideas of academics, universities, and the media can rarely be seen, at least seldom recognized internationally, a sharp contrast with the widely accepted theories and schools of European counterparts.
