[請益] mollycoddle在文中的意思

[norge (Boston)]

在一篇關於華為的文章中

Its route to the top was not easy. At first China's
government favoured a state-owned champion, zte. Huawei
was one of hundreds of private hopefuls that rose from
Shenzhen, a capitalist hub. That lack of mollycoddling,
says Dan Wang of Gavekal Dragonomics, a research firm,
drove Huawei to develop more competitive products and to
seek customers overseas.


請問第四行中的mollycoddling在這裡是什麼意思呢？

如果理解成「溺愛；縱容」，上下文意好像不是很順？
