记者问：瑙鲁总统昨日称中国是一个欺负小国的大国。中方对此有何回应？ 

　　答：说中国欺负小国，这纯粹是无理取闹。这两天中非合作论坛北京峰会的盛况已再次充分表明，中国在国际关系中最讲究大小国家一律平等。有关人士应该明白一个道理：唯有自重，才能赢得尊重。人是如此，国家同样如此。自重自尊与国家大小没有关系。 

Follow-up: Nauru's President said yesterday that China is a big country trying to bully small countries. What is your response? 

A: Nauru is making a fuss out of nothing by accusing China of bullying small countries. What has happened these two days during the FOCAC Beijing Summit fully demonstrates again that China attaches greater importance to equality in international relations more than any other country. The relevant person should have understood that only those who behave with dignity will win respect from others. The same is true for a country. Big or small, one country should conduct itself with dignity and self-respect.
