Research on how scientific disciplines emerge, evolve, and influence the development of scientific knowledge is a focal point in the study of disciplinary history. However, the establishment of Communication and the trajectory of its knowledge in mainland China remains insufficiently explored. To address this gap, this article focuses on the introduction and diffusion of Communication from the perspective of overseas Chinese Communication scholars, using the invisible college theory and approach. By tracing the interactions between the establishment of Communication in the mainland and the activities of invisible college, the findings reveal a framework in which the concepts, theories, and research methods of Communication studies transcend geographical and political barriers, leading to the reintroduction into the mainland and the subsequent recognition in both political and academic contexts
