Abstract :For a very long time, the International Relations (IR) has been largely dominated by the Western schools of thought. As a result of this domination, our understanding of IR is mostly shaped by the Western thought. However in recent years, due to the rapid rise of China as great power in the global stage. A new thinking has emerged which directly challenges the Western hegemony. Basically the findings suggest that Chinese IR came up as a representation of morality, relativism and policy recommendations to solve the problems of the current Western-dominated international order. In the arguments of the ontological security literature, this is about emergence of the new narrative, assuring continuation of the biographical identity and new framing of problems approach in IR within the Chinese outlook. In this work, the main aims is to analyze what kind of anxiety and insecurity that Chinese IR perspective hold to the Western IR.
