This is pretty interesting to read... I think our media normally ignores North American pests travelling to other parts of the world.
Around here we have a lot of talk about pests that have arrived from China that affect our local plants but not many that talk about our pests that have invaded China.
Locally I've had to deal with the Asian Winter Moth decimating trees in my yard and throughout the area I live in. That seems to have gotten under control the last few years though interestingly.
And of course everyone knows about the American Chestnut tree and the blight from China that wiped it out.
