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?

10,800+ dental practice listings will help members of underserved communities find trustworthy dental services while providing an efficient, accurate information source for insurers, employers, and state-level access programs
United States, 29th Jun 2026 — Dental.me, the independent dentist directory, today announced the publication of the first-ever fully verified list of dentists in the state of Florida. The list, which contains detailed information on 10,807 dental practices in 247 Florida cities, will help members of underserved communities find trustworthy dental services while providing an efficient, accurate information source for insurers, employers, and state-level access programs.
“Until now, there was no single resource that covered every dental practice in every Florida city,” explained Spencer Whiteclaw, CEO of Dental.me. “The information that was available tended to be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate. Online listings are often opaque. A practice that’s been shuttered for two years still shows up at the top of search rankings, and so forth. That’s the problem we’re solving with this new list.”
The list organizes dental practices by city and specialty so potential patients can compare them on the details that matter, e.g., location, services, hours, public ratings, and the completeness of listings. Dental.me makes practice verification an essential element of its listings. “Patients get the truth. Practices get a clean lane to claim their own listings,” Whiteclaw added. The verification process is manual and painstaking.
The company invested effort and resources in developing a comprehensive list of dental practices covering smaller towns and urban neighborhoods where high-integrity data on dental services has traditionally been in short supply. The listings cover dental practices from Pensacola in the Panhandle to Key West, and from Belle Glade and Clewiston in the agricultural interior to the dense urban corridors of South Florida.

Coffee Journal, an independent South African specialty coffee publication founded by Bibi Burness
Randvaal Meyerton, Gauteng, South Africa, 29th Jun 2026 – Coffee Journal, an independent South African specialty coffee publication founded by Bibi Burness, announced the publication of its new 50-stop South Africa coffee shop guide, a nationwide editorial feature that spotlights specialty cafes, roasteries and coffee-growing estates across all nine provinces. First published June 18 and presented as a living resource for coffee travelers and local readers, the feature is designed to widen the conversation beyond the country’s largest coffee hubs and toward a more geographically representative view of South African specialty coffee.
The article frames the project as a bucket-list style guide rather than a leaderboard. According to the published methodology inside the feature, every province receives a place on the list, while the country’s biggest coffee cities are capped to make room for smaller towns, regional roasteries and farm destinations. The article states that Cape Town entries were capped at five, Johannesburg at five and Durban at three, a structure intended to create room for coffee destinations in places such as the Karoo, the Midlands, the Soutpansberg and the Port Edward area.
That editorial choice gives the release a clear news angle: a new national coffee guide that deliberately shifts attention away from metro-heavy ranking formats. In practice, the list becomes part travel guide, part editorial map and part discovery tool for readers who want to understand how specialty coffee is distributed across the country. By treating coffee as both a hospitality category and a regional culture story, Coffee Journal positions the feature as relevant to consumers, tourism stakeholders, roasters and destination businesses alike.
The feature also sets out defined selection criteria. The article says the list favors specialty over chains and story over hype, with priority given to venues that offer a compelling reason to travel, including working roasteries, award-winning baristas, distinctive cafe environments and coffee farms where visitors can engage with production more directly. The guide highlights three coffee-growing estates in particular — Beaver Creek in Port Edward, Sabie Valley in White River and Citimba in Louis Trichardt — presenting them as rare opportunities to experience South African coffee from the tree rather than only in the cup.
The guide is not presented as a closed editorial product. Instead, Coffee Journal invites readers to leave Traveller Notes, submit Go or Don’t-go verdicts and suggest shops that deserve inclusion in future updates. That built-in feedback layer gives the article continuing editorial relevance after publication and creates a transparent mechanism for expansion. It also supports return visits by encouraging readers to contribute practical details such as what to order, what to expect and which overlooked destinations should move into the next round of coverage.
Coffee Journal’s broader editorial platform strengthens the release’s credibility. The publication describes itself as independent, South Africa-based and not funded by roasters or brand partnerships, while its site includes consumer education tools such as the grind guide, city-based coffee coverage including Cape Town coffee roasters, and a published explanation of how Coffee Journal scores SA specialty roasters. Together, those resources position the new list inside a wider editorial ecosystem focused on coffee discovery, home brewing and transparency.
The article also includes a statement from Burness that captures the editorial rationale behind the project: “Every province in this country has someone quietly roasting extraordinary coffee. You just have to go looking.” That line gives the release a concise, fact-based quote already published on the site and ties the guide to a broader message about under-recognized regional talent in South African coffee.
For the specialty coffee sector, the list may be significant because it organizes discovery around national spread rather than density in a handful of cities. Many coffee roundups concentrate heavily on Cape Town and Johannesburg. Coffee Journal’s structure takes a different approach by making provincial representation part of the editorial rule itself. That approach can improve visibility for smaller operators and lesser-covered areas while also giving travelers a clearer sense of how coffee culture appears across multiple regions, not just established urban centers.
The release also aligns with Coffee Journal’s identity as a specialty coffee publication that combines editorial curation with practical user participation. Its homepage presents the brand as a place to track espresso, discover South African roasters and learn the craft, while the about page says the publication was founded in 2026 to create a central home for the country’s specialty coffee scene. In that context, the 50-stop guide functions as both a standalone article and a strategic content asset that complements the site’s directories, brew guides and transparency-based reporting.
The new feature is now available on the Coffee Journal website, where readers can browse the full list, review province-by-province selections and contribute notes for future updates. Additional coverage of South African roasters, brewing resources and editorial coffee guides is available through Coffee Journal.
