Ed explains how Xi Jinping's administration is preparing for a new era of trade hostilities and geopolitical tension with the US under a Donald Trump presidency.

And how the US election outcome has also returned questions to America's security and trade commitments to longstanding US allies across Asia, including Japan and South Korea.

And he has the latest on North Korea's entry into Russia's war in Ukraine.
