Actually, neoconservatives have questioned the failure to take China to task more forcefully at least since the mid-'80s. While the Soviet Union existed, we had a strategic interest in maintain good relations with it, and thereafter there was the hope that continued economic liberalization would promote political liberalization. However, neoconservatives have argued that we should use our leverage more, instead of waiting passively.

But he never kowtowed in the blood of Tienamen Square. George Bush could kowtow with the best of them.

I believe Kruschev and Brezhnev were in power when those countries were invaded. They were after Stalin and the purges in the 50's. Mao and Stalin were in a league of their own with Hitler. As far as kowtowing with the Chinese, Clinton is probably just as bad or worse. Especially after his phony posturing about China in 1992. It's worse to speak a lot of rhetoric than to say nothing. Clinton's m.o. has been to jawbone and back down, and then revise history.
