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.)
