One of the most pernicious weeds I've ever come across. The Chinese call it the "tree of heaven" because of its uselessness to the carpenter, the gardener, or for firewood. Therefore, Heaven saved it from destruction by human use. It's nearly as useless in the USA. It's on the prohibited plants list in my state. Now, the spotted lanternfly is here; this tree is its favorite food.
