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?

WHY VANESSA HUDGENS CHOSE AMAZON’S EKOUAER OVER LUXURY LABELS — AND WHAT IT REVEALS ABOUT FASHION’S NEW ERA
New York, US / Timesnewswire / October 2, 2026 – For decades, A-list celebrity endorsements followed a predictable blueprint: high fashion, multi-million-dollar haute couture deals, and unattainable luxury. But this fall, Hollywood star Vanessa Hudgens is continuing her game-changing fashion narrative with Amazon’s sleepwear and loungewear giant, EKOUAER.
First announced as an official EKOUAER Brand Friend earlier this July, Hudgens’ collaboration with the brand hits a major crescendo this October as EKOUAER celebrates its 11th Anniversary. Rather than aligned with exclusive runaway brands, Hudgens has embraced the ultimate daily wardrobe staple used by millions of everyday women across America.
“Becoming a mom has definitely made me appreciate versatility even more,” says Vanessa Hudgens. “I want pieces that are comfortable and easy for everyday life, but that I can dress up and still feel really good in.”
As EKOUAER marks its 11-year milestone, the timing coincides with October’s major Amazon shopping moment, proving that “everyday comfort” is officially beating traditional luxury status symbols. The star’s fall favorites spotlight pieces engineered for multi-scenario living, including the viral Ekouaer Satin Pajamas Set with Bow Tie Front and and the versatile, ultra-cozy Ekouaer 2-Piece Pleated Lounge & Sweater Set. “For me, it’s about finding that sweet spot where you feel comfortable but still put together,” Hudgens adds. “I love being able to take the same piece and completely change the feeling of it depending on how I style it.”
As EKOUAER kicks off its 11th Anniversary celebrations, the alliance redefines modern celebrity style: luxury isn’t about the price tag—it’s about effortless comfort.

From One Store to 400 Daily Orders: 70-Year-Old Lalit Kumar Takes Natural Spices Online Across UAE
The Indian-born businessman has lived and worked in the UAE since 1983. Now 70, he has taken a single grocery store online, and it handles around 400 orders a day.
Dubai, Al Nahda 1, United Arab Emirates, 2nd Oct 2026 – When shipments were getting stuck and many small shops decided to sit tight, Lalit Kumar did the opposite. At 70, the owner of Natural Spices and Foodstuff Trading LLC moved his grocery business online. Today it delivers to customers in every emirate.
He started with one retail outlet and five staff. The business now handles about 400 orders a day through its own website, NaturalSpicesUAE.com, and through the UAE’s major online marketplaces. It sells spices, herbs, Indian groceries, snacks, dry fruits and other daily essentials.
Forty Years in the UAE
Mr. Kumar came to the UAE from India in 1983. Since then he has run businesses in electronics, transport, and oil and gas, and now in foodstuff. He says each one prepared him for the next. Electronics taught him how customers think. Transport taught him about timing. Oil and gas taught him patience.
“I came here as a young man and this country gave me a chance. It gave my family a home. I have never taken that for granted, and everything I build here is my way of saying thank you.”
— Lalit Kumar, Owner, Natural Spices and Foodstuff Trading LLC
Moving When Others Waited
The shift online came at a hard time for retail. Deliveries were running late, costs were going up and fewer people were walking into shops. Mr. Kumar decided not to wait it out.
With his team of five, he set up online ordering, reorganised the stock and worked out packing and delivery, all from the same store they were already running. The website went live, the products went onto the marketplaces, and orders started coming in from across the country.
“I have seen this market go up and down many times since 1983. If you stop every time things get difficult, you will never move. At my age people expect me to slow down. I would rather see what comes next.”
— Lalit Kumar
Still in the Store Every Day
Orders now go out to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Customers say they come back for the range, the fair prices and delivery they can count on.
Growth hasn’t pulled Mr. Kumar away from the business. He is in the store every day. He talks to customers himself, bargains with suppliers and makes the big decisions. His staff say he has more energy than most of them, and he still knows many of his regulars by name.
“A customer is a person, not an order number. Whether they walk into the shop or order from Fujairah, they should get the same respect and the same fair price. That is how I have always worked. A website doesn’t change that.”
— Lalit Kumar
Looking Ahead
Over the coming months, the company plans to add more products, grow its marketplace presence and improve delivery across the UAE.
“I have been building businesses in this country for more than forty years, and I still feel like I’m starting out. As long as I have the energy, I’ll keep going, for my customers, my team and for the UAE.”
— Lalit Kumar

Formula-based pricing set in the contract
Instead of fixed sale rounds, the token price is calculated by a formula written into the smart contract.

Before confirming a transaction, each participant is shown the calculated quote for the selected amount.

Payment options across networks
The sale accepts ETH, USDT, USDC, DAI and WBTC on Ethereum, with individual transactions from about 1 USD to 10,000 USD. For users whose funds are held on BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon or Optimism, the website integrates the third-party LI.FI bridge, which can move funds to ETH on Ethereum and shows the route fees before signing. The website is available in 24 languages.
The sale page supports MetaMask, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet, Binance Wallet and Bybit Wallet (via WalletConnect), as well as other WalletConnect-compatible wallets, on desktop and mobile devices.
“Memito started as a meme, but we are building it as a community first,” the Memito team said. “We wanted anyone, from any network and in their own language, to be able to join from day one, with the rules of the sale written openly into the contract. The community on X and Telegram is where we share every next step.”
Token details
The token contract address is 0xe02AD79732658a2ec2C85Ecd15De5E08A311373C. Maximum supply is 420,690,000,000,000 MEMITO.
