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?

Dreamtime Dentistry Releases Free Dental Implant Readiness Checklist to Help Patients Prepare for Treatment

Published

on

  • Dreamtime Dentistry in Vista, California, provides a practical tool designed to simplify the decision-making process for patients considering dental implants.

Vista, CA, Jun 09, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Dreamtime Dentistry has released a free dental implant readiness checklist designed to help patients determine whether they are good candidates for dental implant treatment and what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. The resource provides a step-by-step framework for evaluating oral health, understanding treatment timelines, and preparing for successful outcomes.

The checklist addresses common questions about bone density, healing time, temporary solutions, and long-term maintenance. It is available for immediate download and can be completed in 15 minutes or less.

Why Patients Struggle With Implant Decisions

Many patients considering dental implants face confusion about whether they qualify for treatment, how long the process takes, and what preparation is required. Without clear guidance, patients often delay treatment or make decisions without fully understanding their options.

“We didn’t want patients going from office to office trying to complete a treatment plan. If we can bring the right expertise into one place, it simplifies everything for the patient,” says Dr. Ryan Watkins, founder of Dreamtime Dentistry.

The checklist breaks down the implant process into manageable steps, helping patients identify potential obstacles early and understand what factors influence success rates.

How the Checklist Reflects a Technology-Forward Approach

Dreamtime Dentistry has built its workflow around advanced imaging and diagnostics, including CBCT scans and intraoral scanning. The checklist encourages patients to ask about imaging options during consultations and understand how technology improves treatment planning.

“We had a patient come in for what looked like a simple crown. The scan showed a crack running deeper than expected. Without that, we would’ve treated the wrong problem first,” Watkins explains.

The practice emphasizes the value of seeing the full picture before moving forward with any restorative work. The checklist prompts patients to ask specific questions about bone structure, sinus positioning, and nerve pathways, all of which can be assessed through advanced imaging.

Dr. Kyung Boen, who has over 25 years of experience placing dental implants, works alongside Dr. Watkins to provide comprehensive in-house care. The checklist reflects this integrated model, guiding patients through questions about specialist referrals and whether multiple appointments at different offices will be required.

Use This in 15 Minutes

Patients can complete the checklist in a single sitting. It includes sections on current oral health, medical history considerations, lifestyle factors that affect healing, and financial planning questions. Each section includes yes or no questions and prompts for follow-up conversations with a dental provider.

The checklist also provides space to note medications, previous dental work, and any symptoms that may affect implant placement. Patients are encouraged to bring the completed checklist to their consultation to streamline the appointment and ensure nothing is overlooked.

The resource is designed to be printed or filled out digitally, making it accessible for patients at any stage of the decision-making process.

Common Mistakes People Make

One of the most frequent errors is waiting too long after tooth loss to consider an implant. Bone loss accelerates over time, which can complicate placement and require additional procedures like bone grafting.

Another common mistake is failing to disclose medical conditions or medications that affect healing. Patients sometimes assume their general health does not impact dental treatment, but factors like diabetes, smoking, and certain prescriptions can influence success rates.

Many patients also underestimate the importance of post-procedure care. The checklist includes a section on aftercare expectations, including dietary restrictions, activity limits, and follow-up appointments.

Finally, patients often compare implant costs without understanding what is included in the price. The checklist prompts users to ask whether the quote covers imaging, the implant post, the abutment, the crown, and any necessary preparatory work.

Built on a Foundation of Access and Care

Dreamtime Dentistry opened in 2011 with a mission to serve patients who had limited options for care, including children and individuals with special needs. Dr. Watkins initially focused on providing sedation dentistry in an outpatient setting, which offered a lower-cost alternative to hospital-based treatment.

“I saw a lot of patients who had nowhere else to go. If we didn’t treat them, they ended up in hospitals or just went without care,” Watkins says.

In 2021, the practice relocated to a newly remodeled office in Vista, expanding its focus to general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. The new space includes heated massage dental chairs, large-screen monitors in every operatory, and an onsite CEREC lab for same-day crowns.

“We built the office to match where we wanted to go, not where we started,” Watkins adds.

The practice now offers a full range of services, including same-day crowns, veneers, teeth whitening, ceramic fillings, and root canal treatment provided by Dr. Joel Altshul, an experienced endodontist.

How to Use the Checklist Today

Patients interested in dental implants can download the free checklist from Dreamtime Dentistry’s website. The resource is intended for anyone exploring implant options, whether they are ready to schedule treatment or still gathering information.

Completed checklists can be brought to consultations at Dreamtime Dentistry or used with any dental provider. The practice encourages patients to use the tool as a starting point for informed conversations about their oral health and treatment goals.

Ha T Hatley Urges Patients to Treat Weight Care as a System, Not a Sprint

Published

on

  • Ha T Hatley, MD, a board certified Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician based in Edwardsville, Illinois, outlines a practical framework for sustainable weight management.

The Core Issue Patients Keep Running Into

Edwardsville, IL, Jun 09, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Ha T Hatley, MD, says one pattern shows up again and again across telehealth visits, urgent care, and outpatient settings. Patients arrive ready to commit, follow a plan for several weeks, and then lose momentum the moment life shifts. Travel, work pressure, family demands, or a single off week becomes the reason a plan ends.

According to Dr. Hatley, the issue is rarely effort. It is structure. Most plans are built for ideal weeks. Real weeks are rarely ideal.

Why Short Term Plans Keep Failing

Dr. Hatley describes weight care as a long arc, not a short project. She points out that weight intersects with nearly every other area of health, including energy, sleep, mood, blood pressure, and hormonal balance. When a plan only addresses food intake or exercise minutes, it tends to collapse the moment a patient faces a stressful season.

In her view, sustainable weight management depends on a system patients can repeat on their hardest days, not just their easiest ones.

A Five Part Framework Patients Can Adopt

Dr. Hatley shares a simple framework patients can use to build a more durable approach to weight and overall health.

  1. Build a baseline week, not a perfect week. Define what a normal, busy, imperfect week looks like, then design a plan that fits inside it. If the plan only works on a quiet week, it will not last.

  2. Anchor two non negotiable habits. Choose two daily habits that stay in place no matter what. Most patients do well with a consistent protein target and a daily walk. Small, repeatable, and difficult to skip.

  3. Track patterns, not perfection. Look at the full month, not the daily number. Weight, energy, sleep, and mood all move together. A single day rarely tells the real story.

  4. Plan the recovery, not just the routine. Build a clear restart plan for missed days. The patients who succeed long term are not the ones who never slip. They are the ones with a faster return to baseline.

  5. Review every ninety days. Schedule a structured review with a clinician every quarter. Adjust based on data, life changes, and goals. Care that never adjusts rarely lasts.

What Patients Can Do This Week

Dr. Hatley recommends three steps anyone can take in the next seven days. Identify the two habits that will stay in place no matter the week. Write down a recovery plan for missed days before they happen. Schedule a clinical check in for the next ninety day window.

Consistency, she notes, almost always shows up later. The patients who stay with the system long enough are usually the ones who see results compound.

About Ha T Hatley, MD

Ha T Hatley, MD, MS, is a board certified physician in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine based in Edwardsville, Illinois, with a telehealth practice serving patients across the United States. Her clinical background spans outpatient telemedicine, urgent care, emergency medicine, and obesity medicine. She also serves as a physician in the Army National Guard. More information is available at her practice site.
