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

Published

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?

WeClean Makes Separately Washed, Affordable Laundry More Accessible Across the Philippines

Published

on

The Filipino laundry company operates 14 branches and offers straightforward pricing, individual-load processing and everyday garment care

Manila, Philippines, 29th Aug 2026 — WeClean is making professional laundry care more accessible to Filipino households through a service built around a simple commitment: every customer’s order is washed separately.

Founded in 2017, the Filipino laundry company now operates 14 branches across Metro Manila and destinations including Palawan and Siargao. Its network serves communities in Makati, Manila, Pasay, Pasig and Quezon City, as well as El Nido, Puerto Princesa and Siargao.

WeClean’s separately processed orders address a practical concern for customers who want greater confidence in how their clothes are handled. Garments from different customers are not combined during washing, while customers with sensitive skin or specific preferences can provide their own detergent or fabric softener.

The company complements this approach with straightforward pricing. In-branch wash, dry and fold services are charged per load of up to seven kilograms, while pick-up and delivery orders are priced by weight. WeClean states that its rates contain no hidden fees and accepts cash, GCash and payments through QR Ph-associated banks.

Its core wash, dry and fold service is supported by specialist options including dry cleaning, household-item cleaning, ultrasonic sneaker care and commercial laundry for hospitality, wellness and local businesses.

Most WeClean branches are open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., with selected locations operating 24 hours. Customers can visit a neighbourhood branch or arrange a free collection within participating service areas. Both walk-in and collected orders are advertised with a 24-hour turnaround.

The company’s branch network reflects a local-first operating model. While digital booking and door-to-door collection are available for customers who need greater convenience, most WeClean customers continue to be served personally by team members at its physical locations.

With its combination of individual-load washing, accessible pricing and an expanding presence in urban and island communities, WeClean aims to offer Filipino consumers a reliable alternative for managing everyday laundry.

Customers can find their nearest branch, check local operating hours or request a pick-up at https://weclean.com.ph/.

Workplai Introduces Alliance Partner Program for Interior Industry Professionals

Published

on

Workplai has launched the Workplai Alliance Partner Program (WAPP), connecting interior designers, architects, contractors and real estate professionals with manufacturing and turnkey fit-out capabilities. The non-exclusive model supports smoother coordination across design, sourcing, production and installation while allowing partners to retain their existing business relationships.

Foshan, Guangdong, China, 29th Aug 2026 – Workplai has introduced the Workplai Alliance Partner Program (WAPP), a B2B partnership framework aimed at Enabling architects, interior designers, real estate professionals, contractors and allied trade specialists with manufacturing and turnkey fit-out capabilities.

Workplai Introduces Alliance Partner Program for Interior Industry Professionals

The initiative addresses a common challenge in large-scale interior projects: coordinating design, material sourcing, manufacturing and on-site execution across multiple stakeholders. Through the alliance model, participating professionals can bring additional execution capabilities into their projects without having to build separate procurement, manufacturing or site-management infrastructure.

A Structured Model for Industry Partnerships

The program is built around four areas: integrated project delivery, structured commercial coordination, a non-exclusive operating model and centralized project governance.

For architecture and interior design practices, the framework provides support in moving projects from design specifications through manufacturing and installation. This allows firms to remain focused on design and client relationships while execution and procurement are coordinated through dedicated project teams.

Real estate developers and property advisors can use the model for fit-out requirements associated with handover and possession stages across residential and commercial developments. For allied contractors, including MEP, modular cabinetry and finishing specialists, the program provides an avenue to participate in larger fit-out projects while continuing to operate within their areas of expertise.

The program also extends to commercial and facility management teams handling enterprise workspace reconfigurations, refurbishment and related fit-out requirements.

Non-Exclusive Partnership Structure

A defining advantage of WAPP is its non-exclusive partnership model, designed to expand a partner’s execution capabilities without limiting existing business relationships. Partners remain free to work with their existing clients, professional networks and preferred vendors, while accessing Workplai’s manufacturing, procurement and turnkey execution capabilities whenever a project requires additional scale or capacity.

The alliance is structured as an additional execution resource, not a replacement for established relationships, enabling partners to retain ownership of their client relationships while leveraging Workplai’s infrastructure and project capabilities.

Commercial engagement is structured around project milestones, providing greater clarity across delivery stages while reducing the need for partners to maintain inventory or assume direct manufacturing-related balance-sheet exposure.

Technical documentation, milestone tracking and site coordination are managed through dedicated Workplai project teams, creating a single coordination layer across participating stakeholders.

Mr. Arihant Nahar, CEO of Workplai, said the increasing scale and complexity of interior projects has made coordination between design, manufacturing and execution a critical part of project delivery.

“Delivering large-scale interior fit-outs requires close coordination between design precision, reliable manufacturing, and managed on-site execution,” Nahar said. “The Workplai Alliance Partner Program establishes a collaborative ecosystem where independent professionals and institutional partners can leverage an established supply chain and project governance framework to deliver predictable, high-standard environments for clients.”

Access to Manufacturing Infrastructure

The alliance also incorporates access to manufacturing infrastructure in Foshan, Guangdong, China. Partner onboarding includes technical orientation, project tracking tools and coordination with Workplai’s design and execution teams.

For firms handling larger or multiple projects, such access could provide a way to scale delivery capacity without substantially expanding their own procurement and production operations.

Rollout Across Key Markets

Partner onboarding for the Workplai Alliance Partner Program is currently underway across key commercial and metropolitan regions. The initiative brings together participants from architecture, interior design, real estate, contracting, furniture and allied trades.

By creating a structured connection between professional practices and manufacturing-led execution, the program is positioned to support firms seeking greater project capacity while retaining control of their existing client and business relationships.
