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?

SAP Fioneer Launches Cloud Accounting Subledger to Simplify Multi-GAAP Accounting for Financial Institutions

Walldorf, Germany, July 30th, 2026, FinanceWire

SAP Fioneer, a leading provider of software solutions for financial services, today announced the launch of its Cloud Accounting Subledger (CAS), a cloud-based solution designed to help financial institutions manage complex accounting requirements and modernize finance operations. 

As financial institutions continue to advance their cloud transformation strategies, many finance organizations remain challenged by fragmented accounting landscapes and increasing regulatory complexity. Multiple accounting systems, disparate processes, and parallel reporting requirements across entities and accounting standards often result in significant reconciliation effort, limited transparency, and higher operational costs. 

“Financial institutions across North America have already made significant progress in cloud adoption, with the vast majority investing heavily in cloud-based architectures. At the same time, many core finance and accounting processes remain fragmented and difficult to modernize,” said Sascha Maric, Managing Director at SAP Fioneer USA. “With Cloud Accounting Subledger, we help institutions address this challenge by providing a unified foundation for managing complex, multi-GAAP accounting in the cloud.” 

SAP Fioneer’s Cloud Accounting Subledger enables financial institutions to manage accounting standards such as IFRS and US GAAP within a single, unified subledger. Purpose-built for AI and by consolidating accounting processes in one environment, the solution helps reduce reconciliation complexity while improving transparency, consistency and auditability across finance and reporting functions. 

Built for SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, Cloud Accounting Subledger applies a consistent, rule-based accounting approach across portfolios, products and legal entities. This creates a single source of truth for finance, risk and reporting, while enabling closer integration between accounting processes and core finance operations. 

“The launch of Cloud Accounting Subledger marks an important step in the continued expansion of SAP Fioneer’s public cloud portfolio for financial services,” said Frank Hammann, Co-CEO Finance at SAP Fioneer. “By bringing multi-GAAP accounting into a single, SAP-native environment, we help financial institutions to reduce operational complexity and establish a scalable foundation for modern finance operations.” 

About SAP Fioneer  

SAP Fioneer was launched in 2021 as a strategic partnership between entrepreneurial investor Dediq and global technology leader SAP SE to become the leading international digital transformation partner and provider of software solutions and platforms to the financial services industry. With a broad ecosystem of partners, over 1,200 financial services customers and more than 1,500 employees, SAP Fioneer is a global business present in 17 countries across Europe, North and Latin America, Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

Mercury Publishes Global Cold Chain Logistics Performance Benchmarks

Mercury publishes global cold chain logistics performance benchmarks for healthcare and life sciences shippers, covering transit times, reach, and reliability.

Boston, MA, 30th Jul 2026 – Mercury Business Services, a specialty logistics provider serving the healthcare and life sciences sector since 1984, today released performance benchmarks from its cold chain and parcel operations, reporting a 99.6% success rate on temperature-controlled shipments and a median cold chain transit time of 2.77 days.

The company also reported that customers using the Mercury Portal — its booking, tracking, and proactive monitoring platform — experienced a 39.7% reduction in parcel incidents compared to shipments managed outside the platform.

For laboratories, clinical trial sponsors, and diagnostics companies, a single compromised shipment can mean lost patient samples, delayed study timelines, and irreplaceable research material. Biological specimens, cell and gene therapy products, and diagnostic kits often have narrow stability windows and no second chance at collection.

Benchmark Highlights

  • 99.6% successful cold chain shipments
  • 2.77 days median cold chain transit time
  • 39.7% reduction in parcel incidents for Mercury Portal users
  • 236+ countries and territories served
  • 1,500+ customers served since 2020
  • 40+ years of continuous operation

Mercury attributes the results to a combination of proactive shipment monitoring, healthcare-specific customs brokerage that anticipates country-level documentation requirements before goods move, and 24/7 support teams assigned to individual accounts.

The company’s services span specialty cold chain, discounted parcel, same-day and onboard courier, next flight out, air freight and charter, GMP warehousing and controlled room temperature storage, and customs brokerage. Mercury supports biological specimens, clinical trial materials, pre-clinical research, diagnostic testing kits, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and regulated documents and records.

About Mercury Business Services

Founded in 1984, Mercury is a logistics provider built specifically for healthcare and life sciences shippers. Mercury delivers hundreds of thousands of shipments each year across 236+ countries and territories, combining a proprietary shipment management portal with dedicated client support teams.

Glasgow Law Firm Reports Increase in Divorce and Separation Enquiries

Published

13 hours ago

on

July 30, 2026

By

Simplicity Legal has recorded a rise in divorce and separation enquiries in the weeks since Scotland supporters returned from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The increase is based on the firm’s own enquiry data, and the firm notes that most enquiries do not lead to divorce proceedings.

Glasgow, United Kingdom, 30th Jul 2026 – Simplicity Legal, a law firm based in Glasgow, has recorded an increase in divorce and separation enquiries during July 2026. The increase is based on the firm’s own enquiry data and is measured against the enquiry levels the firm would normally expect at this time of year. The firm has not identified a single cause for the rise, and notes that enquiry volumes fluctuate throughout the year.

The period covered by the data follows the return of Scotland supporters from the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States. Scotland qualified for the tournament for the first time since 1998. The team played two of its three group matches at Gillette Stadium near Boston, and a third-place finish in Group C was not enough to reach the knockout rounds. Thousands of Scotland supporters travelled to the United States for the group stage in June.

Billy Smith, director at Simplicity Legal, said: “Our enquiry data shows a clear increase in divorce and separation enquiries in recent weeks compared with what we would normally expect during the summer. We are not in a position to attribute the increase to any single cause. Family law firms are used to enquiry levels changing through the year, and January, following the Christmas period, is the best-known example of a seasonal rise.”

He added: “It is worth saying clearly that an enquiry is not a divorce. Most people who contact us at this stage are simply looking for information, and a great many of them never take matters any further. Our advice is always the same. Talk to each other first, and if you want to understand where you stand, seek advice before making any decisions. In Scotland, the rules on finances, property and cohabitation are not always what people assume, and good advice early on saves a great deal of stress later.”

Simplicity Legal offers an initial consultation for anyone seeking advice on separation, divorce or other family law matters. The firm does not provide legal aid.
