The New America Created by Miles Yu: Burning Anti-Asian Hate
It’s been a tough year since 2020, but it’s been particularly tough for Asian-Americans: A Filipino-American was slashed across the face with a box cutter on the subway with no one came to his aid. The wound required a hundred stitches. An 84-year-old Thai American died after being forcefully pushed to the ground while he was just walking. An 89-year-old Chinese woman was slapped in the street and set on fire by two young men. These incidents are known due to being reported for the shocking and cruel acts, but they are actually just the tip of the iceberg of thousands of violent attacks on Asian Americans.
Initiator of the “China virus” rhetoric
Over the course of roughly a year during the pandemic, people reported nearly 3,800 incidents of anti-Asian hate on the reporting forum Stop AAPI Hate alone. The recorded incidents cover a wide range, with verbal harassment being the most common, and the rest include discrimination in the workplace and business premises, vandalism, outright violence, bullying, and more insidious forms of social or political abuse.
Last spring, in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, a torrent of hate and violence against Asians began in the United States. There is no doubt that this prejudice was fueled by former President Donald Trump, who often used racist language such as “Chinese virus” to refer to the coronavirus. Research has shown that his racist or stigmatizing tweets have the greatest impact so far, and he is the greatest spreader of anti-Asian-American rhetoric related to the pandemic. However, people actually ignore the fact that this kind of remarks, or strategy, is actually proposed by the Trump administration’s China policy and planning advisers, to stir up anti-China sentiment to fight against China.
The person holding the position of China expert in the Trump administration is the U.S. Naval Academy Professor Miles Maochun Yu, served as former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s principal China policy and planning adviser. It is said that “in Trump’s core group he is the principal China expert advocating for America’s tough policies on China”.
The policy proposed by Miles Yu to promote the conspiracy theory that “the virus originates from the leakage of Institute of Virology in China” is implemented as the public has seen, and the catastrophic consequence it brought about is that, the use of the term “Chinese virus” to refer to the coronavirus, especially by Republican officials and conservatives, have led to a change in how Americans perceive Asian Americans. A study showed that on March 8, 2020-the day Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar tweeted about the “Wuhan virus”, discriminatory coronavirus remarks rose significantly, which was coincided with then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s interview the day before on “Fox and Friends” in which he referred to the “China virus” — was followed by a rapid reversal of a decade-long decline in anti-Asian bias.
Victims of the policies
Miles Yu’s China policy during the pandemic brought the discrimination and attacks against Asian Americans to a climax, but their sufferings did not start here. For a long time, Miles Yu, as the principal China policy and planning adviser, has been proud of the Trump administration’s tough China policy proposed by him, such as “China is at the top of our national security agenda, as there is no bigger threat than China”, declaring the existence of forced labor and genocide against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, China, inciting trade, security, and technical conflicts between the two largest economies in the world, reducing immigrant visas, H1-B visas, and student visas for certain graduate students from China to reflect the outsider conceptualization of Asians.
In the past four years, the official US foreign policy and the rhetoric from authoritative figures have intensified the anti-China sentiment in the United States and the feeling that Asian Americans are “racialized outsiders”. Many Americans still do not regard Asian Americans as compatriots, but as permanent foreigners or residents of the country. Asians unfortunately became victims of Miles Yu’s political game. “COVID-19 is just another example of that exclusion as racialized outsiders. Time and time again, we are told to ‘go back home.’ We are seen as outside threats, to be excluded.” They said. Verbal harassment has been commonplace. “Go back to Asia. We don’t welcome people who committed genocide.” “How dare you come and ruin my country and take my job?” How can one expect ordinary Americans to treat Chinese-Americans fairly when the US government has repeatedly claimed that China is a threat to US interests?
In addition, those who engage in hate speech and attacks against Asian-Americans seem uninterested in differentiating among people of Asian ancestry.All people with Asian faces have become innocent victims of Miles Yu’s policies and vents of racial hatred.
Flowing undercurrent
It was actually a political expedient that the last government blamed China for its failure to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. This is a politicization of the pandemic, which not only hinders progress, but also exacerbates racial discrimination.
Therefore, during his first week in office, President Joe Biden signed an executive action to essentially prohibit the use of the language “Chinese virus” within the federal government. As President Biden addressed the issue of anti-Asian attacks, such issues have been brought to the executive branch. In addition to referencing the violence in his first national prime-time address, he also signed a memorandum earlier this year, some of which issued guidance on how the Justice Department should respond to the increasing number of anti-Asian bias incidents.
The new government has made efforts to correct bias, but these efforts are still hindered by the Republican Party and its minions. Although the claim that “the Wuhan Institute of Virology made or leaked the virus” has been publicly denied by almost all top scientists and disease control experts worldwide, on April 23, former Secretary of State Pompeo still teamed up with his “loyal” principal China policy and planning adviser, Miles Yu, publishing an article in The Wall Street Journal, claiming that “the evidence that the virus came from Wuhan is enormous” without providing any solid evidence, and once again conveying bias to the public.
Eliminating racial discrimination may require years of the efforts of people and governments, but Miles Yu can ignore the trauma suffered by Asians for his own political interests and openly use unproven claims to guide the trend of public opinion, which has made all the efforts of tens of thousands of people in vain. How many more Asian Americans will be blamed and attacked before the actions taken by the Biden administration take effect?
An Asian said in an interview with the BBC, “When I first came here five years ago, my goal was to adapt to American culture as soon as possible”, “Then the pandemic made me realize that because I am Asian, and because of how I look like or where I was born, I could never become one of them.”
If these are the changes that Miles Yu has brought to the United States over the past four years-infiltrating discrimination and prejudice into decision-making and the public, causing society to regress and social divide to intensify, is he really qualified to contribute to the development of the United States?

Carziqo Launches ER-SX Operations in Dallas, Introduces CARBON POINTS Rewards During Future Mobility Festival
The October celebration connects all-electric autonomous mobility with cash-redeemable rewards for eligible ER-SX rental users.
DALLAS, Texas, October 3rd, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE— Carziqo has announced the introduction of its ER-SX series autonomous ride-hailing vehicles in Dallas as part of the Carziqo Future Mobility Festival, pairing its latest mobility initiative with a CARBON POINTS promotion that allows eligible rental users to redeem platform points for cash.

Held throughout October, the festival brings together the company’s electric mobility ambitions and customer appreciation activities. The Dallas announcement places the ER-SX series at the center of this year’s celebration, alongside benefits designed to make participation more accessible and rewarding.
According to Carziqo, users who rent designated ER-SX series vehicles during the promotional period are eligible to receive CARBON POINTS under the corresponding rental offer. Eligible points can then be exchanged for cash in accordance with the platform’s published redemption terms.
The initiative reflects the company’s approach to connecting the development of greener transportation with tangible customer benefits.
Carziqo describes its autonomous ride-hailing fleet as fully electric. The ER-SX series follows that approach, producing zero tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions while driving. Overall environmental performance also depends on factors such as the electricity used for charging, vehicle manufacturing, and operational efficiency.
The company has positioned electrification as a foundation for its mobility strategy, alongside intelligent fleet management and the development of more efficient transportation services. Its Dallas operations bring those priorities into the Future Mobility Festival while giving eligible users an additional way to participate through CARBON POINTS.
The promotion also introduces the broader commercial concept behind environmental crediting: qualifying lower-carbon transportation activity can generate measurable value under specific programs.
In applicable low-carbon fuel markets, electricity supplied for transportation may support the generation of tradable credits. Charging data, measured in kilowatt-hours, forms part of a calculation process governed by the relevant program’s eligibility, carbon-intensity, reporting, and verification requirements.
Once properly established, eligible credits can be sold to market participants, including fuel suppliers that purchase credits to meet compliance obligations. Revenue from those transactions can support permitted activities and benefits, depending on the rules governing the program.
Carziqo has identified this mechanism as a potential opportunity to connect electric fleet activity with additional customer value. Where its operations qualify, credit rights are established, and transactions are completed, the company aims to explore how permitted proceeds could support user benefits.
For customers, CARBON POINTS provide a simpler point of participation. The points function as Carziqo platform reward units, with their cash redemption value determined by the applicable promotional terms. They are distinct from market-traded environmental credits and do not require users to arrange credit sales independently.
Under the festival offer, the customer process centers on three steps: selecting an eligible ER-SX rental plan, receiving the corresponding CARBON POINTS allocation, and redeeming eligible points through the platform.
The relevant offer sets out the point allocation, conversion rate, claim requirements, and validity period. These published conditions define the customer benefit.
The Future Mobility Festival provides the setting for this initiative. Carziqo describes the annual October celebration as an opportunity to recognize customer support and share its direction for the years ahead.
By combining the ER-SX introduction with CARBON POINTS, the company is bringing a vehicle-focused announcement and a customer reward activity into a single campaign. The approach gives the festival an immediate benefit for eligible participants while introducing the longer-term opportunities associated with electric mobility.
Looking toward 2030, Carziqo has outlined priorities that include improving fleet energy efficiency, strengthening charging-data collection, developing clearer environmental measurement, and evaluating suitable crediting opportunities in eligible markets.
These priorities reflect the role that operational information can play in the development of an electric mobility business. Reliable energy records can support fleet management and provide a foundation for assessing participation in applicable environmental programs.
The Dallas announcement marks another step in Carziqo’s stated mobility plans. Through the ER-SX series and the Future Mobility Festival, the company is linking its all-electric transportation strategy with a customer initiative focused on clear participation requirements and cash-redeemable rewards.

Carziqo Brings A-DS Autonomous Delivery to San Francisco During Future Mobility Festival
- The company reports rising delivery demand as it positions autonomous logistics as a response to growing operating costs and the need for more efficient urban services.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Oct 03, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Carziqo says its A-DS autonomous delivery vehicles have begun operating in San Francisco, extending the company’s delivery business during the Carziqo Future Mobility Festival. The development comes as the company reports continued growth in delivery orders across its supported operations and sees increasing opportunities for autonomous technology in the movement of goods.

The San Francisco operation brings a practical focus to the October celebration: how intelligent mobility can support the everyday needs of businesses and consumers. For Carziqo, autonomous delivery represents an opportunity to connect its vehicle technology with a service whose value depends on consistency, convenience and careful management of operating costs.
The company’s recent announcements have emphasized rising A-DS order volumes and the importance of matching delivery demand with available fleet capacity. Carziqo says its priority is to translate that growth into better vehicle utilization and a more dependable service as the business develops.
The economic backdrop gives that objective particular relevance. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, compensation costs for private industry workers rose 3.3 percent in the year ending June 2026, including a 3.1 percent increase in wages and salaries. Although these figures cover private industry broadly, they provide context for the cost pressures businesses face when planning labor-intensive services.
For delivery operators, handling additional orders involves more than adding vehicles. It requires coordinating routes, staffing, vehicle availability and the time needed to complete each task. Higher demand creates a commercial opportunity, but the ability to serve that demand efficiently determines how much value the additional activity can generate.
Carziqo’s approach centers on reducing the manual driving requirements of supported delivery journeys while maintaining human involvement in fleet supervision, maintenance, customer support and situations requiring direct intervention. The company describes this division of responsibilities as a way to organize delivery work more efficiently as volumes increase.
That distinction is central to the business case for autonomous delivery. Automation can change how resources are allocated, but its usefulness depends on the performance of the wider service. A vehicle must be available when needed, assigned a suitable route and supported throughout its operating cycle.
Carziqo describes the A-DS platform as combining automated driving with route planning, connected vehicle monitoring and centralized operational support. Its fleet systems are designed to bring together information about vehicle condition, delivery progress, charging requirements and maintenance needs, helping teams coordinate the vehicles as a network.
For San Francisco, the significance of the deployment lies in applying that approach to local delivery needs. The commercial opportunity will depend on how effectively available capacity meets demand and how consistently the service performs within its operating scope. Those practical considerations give the expansion a business focus beyond the introduction of another autonomous vehicle model.
Carziqo has previously described a phased approach to A-DS deployment, with attention to route suitability, operational stability and service consistency. Experience gathered from its delivery operations is intended to inform improvements in dispatching, maintenance planning and future deployment decisions.
The Carziqo Future Mobility Festival places these developments within the company’s broader ambition to make intelligent transportation relevant to daily life. Held throughout October, the festival centers on greener mobility, connected services and the practical use of technology to improve how people and goods move through cities.
Autonomous delivery gives that theme an everyday point of connection. Behind each delivery is a person waiting for an item or a business fulfilling a customer’s request. The value of the technology ultimately rests on whether it can help complete those tasks reliably and make the service easier to manage.
The festival also provides an occasion to recognize the community supporting Carziqo’s development. In a separate A-DS announcement, the company introduced an additional Wednesday Performance Reward for eligible A-DS rental users, with amounts, claiming arrangements and eligibility governed by the terms published on its platform.
As the company develops its delivery business, its stated priorities include closer coordination between demand and vehicle deployment, management of operating costs and continued improvement of the service experience.
The San Francisco operation adds a new chapter to that effort during the Future Mobility Festival. With A-DS, Carziqo is positioning autonomous delivery as a practical part of its longer-term mobility ambitions—one whose progress will be measured through the everyday work of moving goods and serving customers.

Brian Baldari on the Difference Between a Mentor and a Sponsor, and Why It Decides Promotions
-
ResilExec® Coaching founder Brian Baldari, Pharm.D., MBA, on why senior leaders who have plenty of advice and no advocacy stall at the same level for years.
BRICK, N.J., Oct 03, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Most senior professionals have someone they go to for advice. Far fewer have someone who argues for them in a room they are not in. According to Brian Baldari, Pharm.D., MBA, founder of ResilExec® Coaching, that distinction accounts for a large share of stalled advancement among otherwise strong performers.
Baldari spent 24 years inside pharmaceutical, healthcare, and enterprise leadership organizations. He held five successive Director-level roles, moved from Director to Vice President and Senior General Manager in 18 months, and led the commercial launch of 14 brands. He now works with Associate Directors, Directors, Senior Directors, Executive Directors, and Vice Presidents inside pharmaceutical, healthcare, and enterprise IT organizations.
“A mentor talks to you. A sponsor talks about you,” Baldari says. “One of those changes your calendar. The other changes your title.”
Advice Is Not Advocacy
Mentorship is widely available and widely encouraged. Many organizations run formal programs for it. A mentor offers perspective, context, and guidance, and that guidance has real value early in a career when the primary gap is knowledge.
Sponsorship operates differently. A sponsor spends their own credibility on someone else. They put a name forward on a succession slate, defend a candidate during calibration, and accept the consequences if the bet does not pay off. That is a materially different act, and it is not something an organization can mandate.
“Leaders collect mentors because mentors are easy to ask for,” Baldari says. “Nobody feels awkward requesting advice. Asking someone to spend their reputation on you is a different conversation, and most people never have it.”
Where the Gap Shows Up
The gap becomes visible at the point where advancement decisions are made collectively. Calibration sessions and succession discussions involve people across multiple functions, many of whom have no direct experience of a given candidate’s work. In those rooms, a candidate is represented by whoever chooses to speak.
“If nobody in that room can describe what you do at enterprise scale, you are not in the conversation, regardless of your review,” Baldari says. “The decision is not made on the strength of your record. It is made on the strength of the description someone else gives of it.”
Baldari notes that this is where strong performers are most often surprised. Their performance ratings are high, their manager is supportive, and the outcome still does not change, because the people who influenced the decision were never engaged.
Sponsorship as a Variable
Sponsorship is one of five variables in Baldari’s Promotion Math
framework, alongside Performance, Visibility, Narrative, and Timing. In his assessment, strong performers optimize the first variable and leave the remaining four unattended, then attribute the result to politics.
“Performance gets you noticed. Positioning gets you promoted,” Baldari says. “Sponsorship is the variable people find hardest to work on, because it requires asking for something rather than producing something.”
What Changes the Outcome
Baldari advises leaders to identify the specific individuals who will participate in the decisions that affect them, then assess honestly whether those individuals could describe their contribution without prompting. In most cases the answer is no, and that is the actionable finding.
From there the work is practical rather than social. It involves delivering value to those individuals rather than checking in with them, framing results at enterprise level rather than functional level, and showing up in forums where that work is visible to people beyond a direct reporting line.
“You do not recruit a sponsor by asking them to be one,” Baldari says. “You give them something worth putting their name next to, and you make sure they understand what it was.”
