With China’s fast-growing role in the global economy and politics, an increasing number of thinkers of both Chinese and non-Chinese cultural backgrounds have seriously explored how Chinese experiences could serve global theoretical construction in the humanities and social sciences. These are questions of critical importance as Chinese social researchers engage more comprehensively and profoundly with the global community. They are critical also because only when China proves its value in global theoretical construction can Chinese scholarship in the humanities and social sciences win a reputation on the world stage.  \nIn international and comparative studies in education, how to position what we study together with our own society and education has long been an important yet poorly theorized issue. This relates closely to the researcher’s perspective and powerfully influences the conclusion he or she reaches. Personally, I have long been grappling with such a theme, especially over the past few years. When Professor Shuangye Chen approached me in May 2022 for a brief piece to contribute to ECNU Review of Education, I was re-reading Michael Burawoy’s (2014) work on global knowledge asymmetries. What I was reading and pondering at the moment echoed very much what Professor Chen was asking for. Indeed, they were generally about the same issues.
