邓小平大国外交思想,是邓小平理论一块重要组成部分。在这一思想体系中,邓小平提到了如何应对国际形势问题,认为中国必须要“维护独立自主、不信邪、不怕鬼的形象”。这看似简单的一句话,却蕴涵着深刻的时代意义和现实指导意义,它可以说是中国处理对外国际关系的一句浓缩语。它既是在当时历史背景条件下提出的中国在国际关系问题上的立场及做法,同 Deng Xiaoping’s diplomatic thinking of the great powers is an important part of Deng Xiaoping Theory. In this ideological system, Deng Xiaoping mentioned how to cope with the problems in the international situation and believes that China must “safeguard its image of being independent, unbelieving and not afraid of the ghosts.” This seemingly simple sentence contains profound historical significance and practical guidance. It can be said that China is a condensed language of dealing with international relations with other countries. It is both a position and practice on the issue of international relations proposed by China at that time under the historical background.
