The point is that China will be coddled, now, and next year, and the year after. It doesn't matter if it is Romney, or Clinton or anyone else.
So you're saying the correct posture is to be antagonistic toward China? It's easy to sit on the sidelines and to take potshots at the participants.

Is it generally good to have a favorable relationship with China or an adversarial relationship?

What does ignoring the silence of electric motors in submarines have to do with coddling?
