Usually, when we think about Columbian Exchange, there's a focus on its consequences in Europe and Americas, possibly Africa when it comes to slavery.
But what did it change in Asia, Islamic, South-East (from India to Indonesia) and Far-East Asia? Did new species (both vegetal or animals) and new ideas about the world found a fertile ground for a quick adoption or, barring, knowledge about them? What about diseases?
I'm doubtful that every change in material or intellectual life was passively received from Europeans; but was there a direct interest of Asian polities and cultures about newly discovered lands?
Was the European monopole on access to Americas resented, acknowledged or ignored?
Your question is actually quite a big one to answer in detail (and I'm not an expert in the relevant fields of research), but I wonder whether some of the answers I wrote in the previous question thread and quoted below, as well as those of /u/wotan_weevil in Asian food and /u/drylaw in Samurai's diaspora might offer you some insights about what was going on in the 16th century maritime Asia after Columbus.
In short, the overall picture shown in Charles Mann's famous 1493 seems to be largely valid.
