And while not strictly an international language/auxlang by design, Lojban used Mandarin as one of the base languages for its words. (Roughly speaking, vocabulary items were created by writing down a word in each of the six(?) base languages and picking the "best" word (that has as many sounds in the same sequence as a given word), with languages weighted by number of speakers.)
