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?

Hypotency, a licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary at 880 Grand Blvd in Deer Park, opens this fall with 30+ ordering kiosks, 100+ parking spaces and an open-floor retail design.
Deer Park, Long Island, New York, United States, 10th Oct 2026 — Hypotency, a new licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary, will open this fall at 880 Grand Blvd., across from the Deer Park Outlets. It will be the largest dispensary on Long Island, with more than 30 ordering kiosks and over 100 parking spaces.
The store was designed to feel more like a modern boutique than a traditional dispensary. Customers will walk into a glass-walled lounge before entering an open sales floor, where freestanding display islands are organized by category: flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, concentrates and wellness. A self-order wall with digital menus gives shoppers the option to order on their own.
The owners say the goal was a store with plenty of space, a wide selection, and people who know the products. Rather than working from a script, the team is there to talk: customers can tell staff what they’re looking for and get help finding it, or simply take their time and browse.
Job Opportunities in Deer Park
Hypotency is also building its team ahead of opening, with positions across the store. The owners are looking for people who enjoy working with customers and want to be part of a new business from day one. Open roles are listed on the website, and candidates can apply by emailing contact@hypotency.com.
Join the opening list
Customers can join the Grand Opening VIP List for early access, special offers and opening updates. The final opening date will be shared with the list first.
About Hypotency

Florida Addiction & Recovery Center Releases Dual-Diagnosis Guide for Fort Lauderdale Families
Florida Addiction and Recovery Center has published an expert dual-diagnosis guide helping Fort Lauderdale families identify five critical warning signs of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Led by Myers Forrest, the center provides 24/7 access to evidence-based clinical care, medically assisted treatment (MAT), and trauma-informed therapies tailored to South Florida residents.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States, 10th Oct 2026 — Unprocessed trauma, anxiety, and depression frequently intersect with substance use, making early identification essential for long-term healing. To empower South Florida residents, Florida Addiction and Recovery Center—a trusted dual-diagnosis treatment facility led by Myers Forrest—has released an educational guide highlighting five critical warning signs that indicate a need for professional integrated care.
Navigating recovery in Broward County presents unique challenges. According to a recent 2026 healthcare survey, over 60% of individuals struggling with substance use disorder also experience an underlying mental health condition, yet many delay seeking help until a severe crisis occurs. Florida Addiction and Recovery Center’s guide emphasizes that proactive intervention during early stages dramatically improves long-term clinical outcomes.
“Addiction is rarely an isolated issue; it is almost always intertwined with emotional trauma, chronic stress, or unaddressed mood disorders,” said Myers Forrest, Founder of Florida Addiction and Recovery Center. “Our goal with this guide is to give Fort Lauderdale families the clarity and confidence they need to recognize when a loved one requires holistic, dual-diagnosis care before reaching a breaking point.”
5 Key Warning Signs of Co-Occurring Disorders:
- Unexplained Emotional & Mood Swings: Extreme shifts between severe anxiety, depressive isolation, and hypervigilance that mirror or amplify substance use patterns.
- Escalating Behavioral & Financial Strain: Unexplained financial distress, missing valuables, or secretive routines around popular local entertainment corridors like Las Olas Boulevard.
- Physical Health & Sleep Declines: Dramatic weight fluctuations, bloodshot eyes, tremors, or severe sleep disturbances without a clear medical cause.
- Withdrawal from Community & Family: Sudden isolation from long-standing support networks in neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Flagler Village, or Rio Vista.
- Relapse Despite Previous Treatment Attempts: Recurring slip-ups caused by unaddressed trauma or emotional triggers rather than a lack of willpower.
To support individuals at every stage of recovery, Florida Addiction and Recovery Center offers a full continuum of care, including Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and specialized EMDR trauma therapy.
The facility operates around the clock, providing confidential consultations, insurance verification, and immediate admissions support for Fort Lauderdale residents.

3 HVAC Quotes Helps Orange County Homeowners Compare Furnace Repair Services Before Winter
Orange County, California, United States, 10th Oct 2026 — As cooler weather approaches, 3 HVAC Quotes is highlighting its online resource for homeowners seeking furnace repair in Orange County, California. The service helps residents explore heating repair options and compare quotes from up to three local HVAC contractors, offering a way to evaluate pricing, proposed repairs, and service availability before committing to a project.
Unlike regions where furnaces operate throughout much of the year, Orange County experiences relatively limited heating demand. Many residential heating systems remain inactive for extended periods before being switched on during the cooler months. This seasonal pattern can leave homeowners discovering equipment problems when they need heat most.
Through its dedicated furnace repair Orange County CA resource, 3 HVAC Quotes provides a starting point for residents researching heating repairs, comparing service options, and connecting with licensed, pre-screened contractors.
Seasonal Furnace Problems Can Catch Homeowners Off Guard
A furnace that operated normally at the end of the previous winter may not start reliably after months of inactivity. Components can deteriorate, sensors can become contaminated, and electrical or mechanical issues may become apparent when the heating system is switched on again.
Common furnace problems include faulty hot-surface igniters, dirty flame sensors, restricted airflow, malfunctioning thermostats, and worn blower components. Depending on the equipment, condensate drainage issues, control board faults, or corrosion can also affect performance.
Recognizing When a Furnace Needs Repair
Changes in heating performance can provide early indications that a system needs inspection. A furnace that repeatedly attempts to start without producing heat, for example, may have an ignition problem or another fault that prevents normal operation.
Other warning signs include air circulating without adequate warmth, frequent starting and stopping, unusual mechanical noises, and persistent odors after the initial startup period. A technician can investigate these symptoms to determine whether the cause involves airflow, ignition, controls, or another component.
Homeowners should not assume that every symptom requires an expensive repair or complete equipment replacement. A professional diagnosis can help establish the actual cause and identify an appropriate solution.
Comparing Furnace Repair Quotes in Orange County
Repair costs can vary according to the component involved, equipment age, parts availability, installation location, and complexity of the work. The age and model of the furnace can also influence the repair process.
3 HVAC Quotes addresses these considerations through a service designed to help homeowners compare up to three quotes from local HVAC contractors. The comparison process gives residents an opportunity to review proposed work and pricing rather than automatically accepting the first estimate they receive.
The company’s online service is free to use and carries no obligation to hire a contractor, according to its website. Residents can begin the process through the dedicated Orange County heating repair page.
About 3 HVAC Quotes
3 HVAC Quotes provides an online platform that helps homeowners explore HVAC services and compare quotes from up to three local contractors. Its service includes resources for heating and furnace repair in Orange County, California, enabling residents to investigate available options before choosing a provider.
