The presidency of the council rotates monthly on the basis of the English alphabetical order of the member states' names. It confers about as much power as you would expect, given such a rule.

Russia's veto, of course, confers real power and means that nothing will happen. About the only interesting question going into this meeting is exactly what China will say. Otherwise, it's just an opportunity for grandstanding and everyone involved knows this.

I don't even think Romney was "right". Russia may be a more belligerent geopolitical foe but China is the biggest competitor and most likely successor to US domination on the world stage.
