I wonder, does Asia and Europe have nearly as many problems with North American invasive plants / pests / diseases as North America does with its non-natives?

Being from the US, I don't recall any such stories in the news.

Oh we do! There's a nice statistic fron the Netherlands about the number of invasive species, which is exponentially growing: https://www.clo.nl/en/indicators/en162202-alien-species-in-t...

Most of these are from Asia and Noth America.
