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?

OpAIda Opens Office at Plug and Play, Unveiling AI Strategy Across the Life Sciences Value Chain
Sunnyvale, CA, United States, 5th Sep 2026 – opAIda, an enterprise artificial intelligence company focused on transforming complex, knowledge-intensive workflows, today celebrated the grand opening of its Silicon Valley office at Plug and Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale, California.
The opening marked more than a geographic expansion for opAIda. It represented an strategic step as the company sharpened its focus on Life Sciences and advanced its vision for an AI platform designed to support key workflows across the industry’s value chain.
From Regulatory AI to the Life Sciences Value Chain
Drug development generates enormous volumes of scientific, clinical, quality, regulatory and operational information. Yet many of the workflows connecting that information remain involve manual processes, multiple systems and specialized human expertise. OpAIda sees an opportunity for enterprise AI to change that.
The company is initially concentrating on one of the most document-intensive and consequential areas of the pharmaceutical industry: regulatory and FDA report writing.
Rather than treating report writing simply as a generative AI task, opAIda is developing AI-enabled workflows designed to help life sciences organizations organize source information, retrieve supporting evidence, generate structured content, conduct quality reviews and maintain traceability throughout the reporting process.
The company’s initial target customers include pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies and contract research organizations (CROs).
From this regulatory entry point, opAIda plans to progressively extend its capabilities across the broader life sciences value chain: Research > Discovery & Design > Pathology & Biomarkers > Clinical Development > Regulatory > Manufacturing & Supply Chain > Commercial
The goal is to create an increasingly connected intelligence layer that helps scientific and business teams work with complex enterprise knowledge throughout the drug lifecycle.
“At opAIda, we are not building AI simply because AI is exciting. We want to solve real problems where complexity, knowledge and human expertise matter,” said Zhenni Jackson, CEO and co-founder of opAIda. “Life sciences is exactly that kind of industry. Developing a medicine can take years, involve thousands of decisions and generate enormous amounts of scientific and regulatory documentation. We believe AI can help people connect that knowledge, reduce repetitive work and support these workflows with AI-enabled capabilities.”
Zhenni Jackson, CEO and co-founder of opAIda, speaks at opAIda’s Silicon Valley office grand opening.
According to Jackson, the company’s strategy is very focused: enter through regulatory, then expand across the life sciences value chain. FDA report writing gives the company a practical starting point where there is a clear operational need and the value of automation can be evaluated. From there, opAIda’s ambition is much bigger—to help intelligence flow from research and drug development all the way to manufacturing and commercialization.”
“AI in Life Sciences must be built around trust, context and accountability,” said Dr. Yingchao Zhang, Dr. YZ, Co-Founder and Chief AI Officer of opAIda. “Our goal is to develop systems that can work with complex scientific and regulatory knowledge while preserving traceability and keeping experts in control. By combining AI technologies with domain-specific workflows, we can help organizations improve workflow efficiency while maintaining the rigor required to make decisions that affect patients.”
A new chapter as opAIda sets a presence at Plug and Play
Plug and Play is one of the world’s largest innovation platforms, with a global network spanning more than 550 corporate partners, 60-plus cities and 25-plus industry verticals. The platform manages more than $1 billion in assets under management and has supported more than 100,000 startups, including more than 2,500 portfolio companies and over 30 unicorns. Its ecosystem includes more than 1,000 mentors and more than 100 accelerator and innovation programs worldwide.
At opAIda’s grand opening, Dr. Yingchao Zhang, Chief AI Officer of opAIda, introduced Rouzbeh Borhani, Head of Semiconductors at Plug and Play, who welcomed opAIda to Silicon Valley on behalf of Plug and Play.
“Plug and Play is proud to welcome opAIda to our Silicon Valley community,” said Rouzbeh Borhani, Head of Semiconductors at Plug and Play. “The company’s focus on applying enterprise AI to complex Life Sciences workflows reflects the kind of meaningful, practical innovation we seek to support. We look forward to helping opAIda leverage Plug and Play’s global network of corporations, investors, startups and technology partners as it grows its presence, develops strategic relationships and expands across the Life Sciences value chain.”
Building Enterprise AI Around Knowledge, Not Just Prompts
opAIda’s approach centers on AI systems capable of working with complex enterprise information rather than relying solely on general-purpose chatbot interactions.
Its technology is being developed to support document-intensive workflows involving knowledge retrieval, structured generation, review, quality control and enterprise data integration.
This approach is particularly relevant in life sciences, where AI-generated output must be grounded in source information and operate within highly controlled business and regulatory environments.
The company believes the next phase of enterprise AI will move toward AI-enabled workflows that understand organizational knowledge and assist humans throughout complete business processes.
Against this backdrop, the opening represented both a celebration and a declaration of its next chapter.
Plug&Play lobby where OpAIda now has a presence.
“Silicon Valley has always represented the courage to imagine what does not exist yet,” Jackson said. “For opAIda, this office is small in square footage, but reflects the company’s broader ambitions.”
About opAIda
opAIda — AI for Real-World Applications is an enterprise artificial intelligence company developing AI solutions for complex, knowledge-intensive workflows.
The company is sharpening its focus on the Life Sciences value chain, beginning with regulatory and FDA report writing for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and CRO organizations and building toward broader applications across research, drug discovery and development, clinical operations, regulatory affairs, manufacturing and supply chain, and commercialization.
opAIda combines enterprise knowledge, AI models and workflow automation to help teams organize information into usable insights while keeping human expertise at the center of critical decisions.
With its new Silicon Valley presence at Plug and Play Tech Center, opAIda is building toward a larger vision: AI for Real-World Impact. From Regulatory Intelligence to the Life Sciences Value Chain.

3 HVAC Quotes Carlsbad Launches Furnace & Heating Repair Quote Comparison for Carlsbad Homeowners
Compare 3 competitive quotes from licensed, insured heating contractors for furnace repair, replacement, and service in Carlsbad. Our free matching service connects homeowners with top-rated local pros in about 60 seconds — so you choose the best price with zero pressure and zero obligation.
United States, 5th Sep 2026— 3 HVAC Quotes Carlsbad today announced a new furnace and heating repair quote comparison service for homeowners in Carlsbad and North County San Diego. When the heat goes out, homeowners can now receive up to three competitive quotes from licensed, pre-screened heating contractors — all from a single online request — instead of scheduling multiple companies to come out one at a time just to get a price.
People want to compare prices online the way they do on Amazon. The new service brings that same convenience to furnace repair, letting Carlsbad homeowners compare heating quotes side by side and choose the best-priced, best-value pro without the labor-intensive process of multiple in-home estimates.
Solving a Real Problem for Carlsbad Homeowners
A furnace rarely fails at a convenient time. When it stops working on a cold night, homeowners are under pressure to fix it fast — and that urgency is exactly when it’s easiest to overpay. Getting an accurate price on furnace repair has traditionally meant calling around, waiting for callbacks, and inviting several contractors into the home one at a time, often before a homeowner even knows whether a company is reputable or charging a fair rate.
“When your heat goes out, you shouldn’t have to choose between fixing it fast and getting a fair price,” said a spokesperson for 3 HVAC Quotes Carlsbad. “We built this so homeowners can do both. You tell us what’s wrong once, and we bring three vetted, competitive quotes to you — so you can compare and choose with confidence.”
The service is completely free for homeowners, with zero pressure and zero obligation to hire any of the contractors matched.
How the AI Pre-Screening Works
What sets 3 HVAC Quotes Carlsbad apart is the technology behind the matching. Rather than simply forwarding a homeowner’s information to whichever contractor pays the most, the platform uses AI to evaluate heating and furnace companies before they are ever presented to a homeowner.
The AI reviews a company’s reputation across a wide range of sources, including:
- Google reviews and Google Business Profiles
- Yelp ratings and customer feedback
- Better Business Bureau (BBB) records and ratings
- Social media presence, including Facebook and X
- Neighborhood and community discussions across the web
Beyond reviews, the system also weighs practical, real-world factors that matter to homeowners making a significant investment: years in business, overall reputation, proper licensing, and active insurance coverage. By combining reputation data with these credentials, 3 HVAC Quotes Carlsbad aims to surface the most reputable, best-reviewed, and competitively priced heating contractors serving the Carlsbad and North County area.
The result is a shortlist a homeowner can trust — top-rated local pros who have already cleared a meaningful vetting process before they ever pick up the phone.
Furnace & Heating Services Covered
The new service covers the full range of residential heating needs, whether it’s an urgent repair or a planned upgrade:
- Furnace repair and troubleshooting for units that won’t start, won’t heat, or short-cycle
- Furnace replacement and new system installation
- Heating system maintenance and tune-ups
- Thermostat, ignitor, and blower motor issues
- Heat pump heating repair and service
Whether a homeowner needs a quick fix before the next cold snap or is weighing a full furnace replacement, 3 HVAC Quotes Carlsbad makes it easy to compare three quotes instead of settling for one.
Why Carlsbad Homeowners Still Need Reliable Heat
It’s easy to assume a coastal Southern California city doesn’t need much heating, but Carlsbad tells a different story. Marine-layer mornings and cool, damp winter nights mean furnaces and heat pumps do get real use — often after sitting idle through the warm months, which is exactly when neglected systems tend to fail on first startup. A unit that ran fine last spring can refuse to fire on the first genuinely cold evening of the season.
That seasonal pattern makes choosing the right contractor important. A pro who understands local homes — including the mix of older and newer housing stock across Carlsbad and North County, and the coastal conditions that affect equipment over time — can diagnose the real problem and recommend the right fix rather than an unnecessary replacement. 3 HVAC Quotes Carlsbad’s local focus is designed to connect residents with heating pros who know the area and the equipment that holds up in it.
Compare 3 Quotes, Choose With Confidence
Once a homeowner submits a request, the process is straightforward:
1. Tell us what you need. Answer a few quick questions about the heating problem — whether it’s a furnace repair, a replacement, or routine service. It takes under a minute.
2. Get matched with three pros. 3 HVAC Quotes Carlsbad connects the homeowner with up to three top-rated, licensed, and insured heating contractors who serve Carlsbad and North County and have passed the platform’s AI-driven pre-screening.
3. Compare and save. The homeowner reviews three competitive quotes side by side and chooses the best price. There is no obligation to hire anyone.
Because contractors know they are competing against two other quotes, they tend to sharpen their pricing — and that competition is what drives real savings for the homeowner, especially on larger jobs like furnace replacement where the spread between quotes can be significant.
Availability
The 3 HVAC Quotes Carlsbad furnace and heating repair service is now live for homeowners in Carlsbad and across North County San Diego. Requesting quotes is free, carries no obligation, and takes about 60 seconds. Homeowners can get started at:
