Perhaps the simplest explanation for Donald Trump's unexpected victory in the US presidential election is the most accurate: Trump’s opponents got played. If the rest of the world underestimates him, all will risk becoming collateral damage.
HONG KONG – Much effort has been expended to explain Donald Trump’s unexpected victory in the United States’ presidential election. But perhaps the simplest explanation is the most accurate: Trump’s opponents got played.

World powers, particularly in Asia, should not make the same mistake.
