The New America Created by Miles Yu: Burning Anti-Asian Hate

Published

5 years ago

on

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?

Local Builder Brings Affordable Housing Innovation to Sonoma County’s Tight Market

Published

Turnkey small homes and ADUs pair rapid installation with moisture-smart comfort

  • “Families in Sonoma County shouldn’t have to choose between speed, cost, and comfort. Our goal is to make high-quality small homes and ADUs attainable, healthy, and long-lasting.”

     —Spokesperson, Sonoma Manufactured Homes

Petaluma, CA, 23rd December 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Sonoma Manufactured Homes today announced a major push to bring efficient, affordable housing options to one of California’s most competitive markets. By combining turnkey small home and ADU solutions with rapid installation and advanced moisture-control systems, the local builder is redefining what affordability can look like in Sonoma County.

With prices and construction timelines climbing across the region, many residents are looking for alternatives to traditional site-built homes. Manufactured and modular housing now offer a way to create Sonoma County small homes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that are budget-conscious without feeling temporary or stripped down. Sonoma Manufactured Homes is at the center of this shift, coordinating design, factory construction, permitting, transport, and on-site setup under one roof.

“People are surprised when they see how far modern manufactured homes have come,” said the company’s spokesperson. “These aren’t short-term structures. They’re efficient, well-built homes and ADUs that can be installed quickly, tailored to local properties, and designed for everyday comfort.”

The company’s turnkey model allows homeowners to move from concept to keys with fewer unknowns. While the home or ADU is being built in a controlled factory environment, Sonoma Manufactured Homes manages the local side of the project: site evaluation, foundation design, utility planning, and manufactured home installation in Sonoma County. This parallel process significantly reduces overall timelines compared with conventional builds, an advantage that matters in a tight housing market.

Affordability does not mean one-size-fits-all. Sonoma Manufactured Homes offers a range of layouts suitable for primary residences, downsizing, and prefab ADUs in Sonoma County that serve as in-law units, rental suites, or caregiver housing. Floor plans emphasize efficient circulation, natural light, and storage, so compact footprints feel livable rather than cramped.

What truly sets the company apart is its focus on the “science of comfort” inside small, tightly built homes. Modern modular and manufactured structures are designed to be energy-efficient, but that tightness can trap moisture from everyday activities like showers, cooking, and laundry. Left unmanaged, humidity can lead to condensation, mold, musty odors, and premature wear on building materials and HVAC systems.

To address this, Sonoma Manufactured Homes integrates innovative, built-in dehumidification systems into its projects. The company’s flagship solution, the IW25, is a tankless, tamper-resistant, gravity-drained wall-mounted dehumidifier that can manage humidity in spaces up to 1,500 square feet—ideal for compact homes, cottages, and ADUs. For layouts where wall or floor space is limited, the firm uses the HWD45, a horizontal dehumidifier designed to fit above doors, cabinets, or in crawlspaces.

These systems are particularly well-suited to Sonoma County small homes and secondary units, where every square foot counts and maintenance needs to be straightforward. By handling humidity quietly in the background, they support healthier indoor air, protect finishes, and reduce callbacks related to moisture issues.

“Our homes are designed to perform for the long haul,” the spokesperson added. “Fast installation matters, but so does what happens in year five, year ten, and beyond. When we combine efficient shells with built-in moisture control, we’re protecting both comfort and the homeowner’s investment.”

As demand grows for practical, cost-effective ways to house families, extended relatives, and renters on existing lots, Sonoma Manufactured Homes is positioning its turnkey, moisture-smart approach as a blueprint for the region. The company’s mix of affordability, speed, and technical attention to indoor air quality is helping reshape expectations around manufactured and modular housing in Sonoma County.

About Sonoma Manufactured Homes

Sonoma Manufactured Homes is a trusted provider of modular and manufactured housing solutions based in Petaluma, California. The company specializes in small homes and prefab ADUs that blend durable construction, flexible design, and expert installation. With a strong focus on moisture control, indoor air quality, and long-term comfort, Sonoma Manufactured Homes delivers turnkey projects that help residents navigate Sonoma County’s tight housing market with confidence.

PORTFOLIX Financial College: Dean Gilberto Marchena Pineda Announces Official Upgrade to AI Visyonex 2.0 System

Published

11 hours ago

on

December 23, 2025

By

Mexico, 23rd Dec 2025 – PORTFOLIX Financial College, a global institution specializing in structural investment education, today announced that under the leadership of Founder and Dean Gilberto Marchena Pineda, the college has completed a major update to its technological infrastructure, officially upgrading its core AI system to AI Visyonex 2.0. This upgrade aims to introduce an advanced “Symbiotic Intelligence” framework into the curriculum, enabling individual investors to access institutional-grade risk management protocols.
 

Addressing the Institutional Asymmetry

This strategic system upgrade comes as the global algorithmic trading market is projected to reach $42.99 billion by 2030 (Source: Grand View Research). Despite significant market growth, industry data indicates a marked disparity in performance, with institutional investors retaining a dominant 61% market share of algorithmic volume (Source: Mordor Intelligence).

“The current financial landscape is defined by a ‘Cognitive Bottleneck’,” stated Dean Gilberto Marchena Pineda. “While institutions leverage quantitative teams to process petabytes of market data, individual investors are often left exposed to volatility due to a lack of structural methodology. We are releasing Version 2.0 specifically to bridge this analytical gap through a more powerful technological iteration.”

Leadership and Methodology

Gilberto Marchena Pineda, an alumnus of UC Berkeley (Economics & Applied Mathematics) and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business (MBA), brings over two decades of experience in macro-hedging and cross-cycle value investing. Under his guidance, PORTFOLIX has established the “Portfolio Six” methodology, applying Six Sigma principles to asset allocation to minimize defects in decision-making.

“Risk management is not merely a protective measure; it is the foundation of alpha,” Marchena Pineda added. “At PORTFOLIX, we emphasize that risk is distinct from volatility. True risk is ignorance of the underlying market drivers.”

Technology Evolution: AI Visyonex 2.0

To serve its global base of over 10,000 learners, the college has moved beyond its initial technical layout to drive the evolution of the system to Version 2.0. Unlike passive automated trading tools, the upgraded AI Visyonex 2.0 functions as a “Symbiotic Intelligence” framework focused on augmenting human decision-making rather than replacing it.

Key features of the Version 2.0 upgrade include:

  • Adversarial Reasoning: The addition of a “Debate Engine” where distinct AI agents (Bull and Bear) argue the merits of a trade, forcing students to evaluate counter-arguments before execution.
  • Macro-Hedge Integration: A comprehensive logic upgrade that deeply binds portfolio construction with global macroeconomic indicators, reflecting the Dean’s expertise in structural investment.
  • ESG Governance: An enhanced “Guardian Guild” module that enforces strict adherence to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, ensuring capital allocation aligns with sustainable principles.

About PORTFOLIX Financial College

Founded in 2016, PORTFOLIX Financial College is a leading financial education institution focusing on Asset Allocation, DeFi, and Structural Investment. With a mission to cultivate responsible portfolio managers, the institution combines academic rigor with advanced financial technology. The college currently serves a global community of over 10,000 learners, with a strategic focus on the Latin American and North American markets.
