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?

Conservation Travel Africa Highlights Growing Opportunities for Mature Volunteers in Ethical Primate Conservation
Harare, Zimbabwe, 12th Dec 2025 – Conservation Travel Africa is celebrating the continued growth and success of its ethical Primate Volunteer Program in Zimbabwe, with a particular rise in mature and senior volunteers seeking meaningful, hands-on conservation experiences. The programme—based at one of Zimbabwe’s most respected wildlife sanctuaries—offers volunteers of all ages the opportunity to work closely with rescued and orphaned primates, contributing directly to long-term rehabilitation and welfare.
The sanctuary provides a safe haven for primates affected by the illegal pet trade, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. Volunteers play a vital role in supporting daily care, enrichment, enclosure management, and behavioural observation, all within a highly ethical framework that prioritises animal wellbeing.
A Welcoming Space for Mature Volunteers
Conservation Travel Africa continues to see increasing numbers of volunteers aged 50+ choosing its projects, drawn by supportive environments, comfortable accommodations, and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to conservation while experiencing Africa in an authentic and engaging way.
Among the most popular programmes for mature volunteers is the Primate Conservation Program in Zimbabwe—an intimate, hands-on experience ideal for those seeking a small, friendly sanctuary environment. Volunteers work alongside dedicated local staff, gaining insight into the daily realities of wildlife rescue while building strong connections within the team.
Other Mature-Friendly Volunteer Opportunities
Beyond primate care, Conservation Travel Africa offers a wide range of projects designed to suit different interests, skill levels, and comfort preferences:
- Community Outreach – Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe: Very small group sizes create a personalised and flexible volunteering experience. Project managers tailor activities according to community needs and the skills volunteers bring.
- Big 5 National Parks, Zimbabwe: Run by an experienced couple in their 60s, this field assistant role allows volunteers to shadow seasoned conservationists as they carry out real-time wildlife monitoring and management across major parks.
- Rhino & Elephant Program, Zimbabwe: With structured days, a family-style environment, and comfortable accommodation, this programme is ideal for first-time older volunteers seeking a supportive and familiar setting.
- Endangered Wildlife Monitoring, South Africa: Popular with travellers who have previously been on safari, this research-focused programme offers in-depth exposure to conservation management in a vast protected area.
- Humpback Whale Expedition, Mozambique: A unique marine project that requires no diving experience. Volunteers swim with and monitor whales while supporting ongoing scientific research, all from comfortable accommodation in a remote coastal setting.
- Environmental Conservation, Malawi: Perfect for bird enthusiasts, this programme blends community engagement with river-based conservation work, exceptional birding, and a camping weekend in Majete Wildlife Reserve.
“We’re seeing a real shift in the way people want to travel later in life,” said Jane Palmer, Marketing Manager at Conservation Travel Africa. “Around 30% of our volunteers are over 50, and many are now boldly embarking on their first solo adventure. Programs like our Primate Conservation Project give mature volunteers a chance to reconnect with nature, make a meaningful impact, and experience Africa in a truly hands-on way.”
Ethical, Impactful Volunteering
Conservation Travel Africa remains committed to responsible wildlife experiences. All projects are operated in partnership with leading African sanctuaries, ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare. Unlike exploitative wildlife tourism, these programmes are non-commercial, with no breeding, performance, or hands-on activities that compromise animal wellbeing.
How to Join
Limited-time savings are available for volunteers joining the Primate Conservation Program in 2025, offering an added incentive for those ready to take the next step in their conservation journey. No prior experience is required—only enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and a desire to contribute to meaningful wildlife protection.
