David Cameron has shown strong leadership skills in backing this initiative of China’s President, Xi Jinping, against the advice of Obama‘s administration. But, a week after the UK, other European countries have followed suit and Australia is reconsidering too.

Is Obama’s weakness as a leader more evident overseas than in the US?
