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?

Australia, 25th Aug 2026 – Totalcare Dental and Dermal, a respected dental practice in Bondi Junction, has confirmed the availability of dental implant treatment at its Bondi Junction practice, providing assessment, treatment planning, implant placement and restorative care for patients requiring replacement of missing or severely damaged teeth.
The service is available from the practice at Shop 3, Ground Level, 1 Spring Street, Bondi Junction, where implant cases are assessed individually before treatment proceeds. Clinical evaluation takes into account the condition of the remaining teeth, gum health, available bone, medical history and the number and location of teeth requiring replacement.
Dental implants are used to support replacement teeth by placing a titanium fixture into the jawbone. Following a period of healing, the implant can support a crown or form part of a broader restoration involving several missing teeth. Treatment requirements vary between patients, and additional procedures may be required where bone volume, gum condition or existing dental disease affects suitability for implant placement.
Tooth loss can result from decay, periodontal disease, trauma, failed restorations or teeth that can no longer be predictably maintained. In addition to affecting appearance, missing teeth can influence chewing function and may contribute to changes in the position of neighbouring teeth over time. Implant treatment is one of several replacement options considered during restorative planning, alongside bridges and removable prostheses.
“Implant treatment begins with determining whether the procedure is suitable for the individual patient rather than moving directly to placement,” said Ishara Goonewardene, Owner of Totalcare Dental and Dermal. “Bone condition, gum health, the position of surrounding teeth and the patient’s broader dental needs all influence the treatment plan. Careful assessment at the beginning helps establish the appropriate sequence of treatment and identifies any issues that need to be addressed first.”
The treatment process typically begins with a consultation and diagnostic assessment. Imaging may be used to evaluate the proposed implant site and surrounding structures before a treatment plan is prepared. Where implant placement proceeds, a healing period is generally required before the final restoration is attached, although the sequence and timing depend on the clinical circumstances of each case.
Patients requiring preparatory treatment may receive general dental care before implant placement. This can include management of active decay or gum disease, extraction of teeth that cannot be retained or other treatment intended to establish suitable oral conditions before the implant procedure begins.
Follow-up appointments form part of the implant process, allowing the clinical team to monitor healing and assess the implant site before restorative treatment is completed. Once the final restoration has been placed, ongoing dental examinations and professional maintenance remain relevant to the health of the implant, surrounding gum tissue and remaining natural teeth.
Totalcare Dental and Dermal also provides general dentistry, cosmetic dental treatment, orthodontics, emergency dental care, teeth whitening, veneers and sedation dentistry from the Bondi Junction location. The availability of these services allows other dental concerns identified during implant assessment to be considered as part of a broader treatment plan where required.
Sedation options may also be discussed for suitable patients undergoing implant-related procedures. The appropriate approach is determined following assessment, taking into account the planned treatment, medical considerations and individual clinical requirements.
The practice’s location in Bondi Junction places implant treatment alongside ongoing general and restorative dental care, allowing patients to attend the same clinic for assessment, treatment, follow-up appointments and routine maintenance. Treatment options, anticipated stages and associated requirements are discussed before procedures commence.
“The next stage is to continue refining treatment planning and follow-up protocols as implant dentistry develops,” said Goonewardene. “Advances in diagnostic imaging, restorative materials and treatment planning continue to influence how implant cases are managed. The practice will continue reviewing those developments and applying approaches that support appropriate clinical decision-making and long-term maintenance.”
The provision of implant treatment forms part of Totalcare Dental and Dermal’s broader restorative dental offering at Bondi Junction. Patients are assessed according to their individual oral health circumstances, with treatment recommendations based on clinical findings and the suitability of available tooth replacement options.

WA 6060, Yokine, Australia, 25th Aug 2026 – Emergency Dentist Perth, a renowned provider of unscheduled dental treatment, has confirmed extended after-hours availability at its Yokine clinic, increasing the number of appointment slots offered outside standard business hours to patients who require attention for sudden dental problems.
The extended schedule covers weekday evenings as well as both weekend days, with appointment capacity held open each day for cases that cannot be booked in advance. Patients contacting the practice are assessed by phone, with the severity of reported symptoms determining how quickly an appointment is allocated. Presentations involving facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or a tooth that has been dislodged are prioritised ahead of less time-sensitive cases.
Demand for unscheduled dental treatment across the Perth metropolitan area has continued at a steady level throughout the year, with a noticeable concentration of cases falling outside conventional consulting hours. Dental problems frequently escalate during the evening, over weekends, and across public holiday periods, when many general practices are closed. Hospital emergency departments in Western Australia are not equipped to provide definitive dental treatment and generally manage such presentations with pain relief and antibiotics before referring patients to a dental practitioner for the procedure itself.
Presentations handled at the Yokine clinic include severe toothache arising from pulpal infection, chipped and fractured teeth, lost fillings and crowns, dental abscesses, and teeth knocked out during sporting or workplace incidents. Avulsed teeth remain among the more time-critical cases, as the prospect of successful reimplantation declines sharply within the first hour after an injury occurs. The extended hours are intended to shorten the interval between injury and treatment for cases of this kind.
“Dental emergencies do not follow a consulting timetable, and a substantial share of the calls received by the practice comes from people whose symptoms have worsened after hours,” said Dr Anand Ponnusamy, Principal Dentist of Emergency Dentist Perth. “Extending availability across evenings and weekends means fewer patients spend a night managing severe pain at home before treatment can begin. Where infection or a dislodged tooth is involved, the time between onset and appointment has a direct bearing on the clinical outcome.”
Supporting the extended schedule has required adjustments to rostering, with clinical and administrative staff allocated across the additional sessions. Treatment rooms at the Yokine practice are equipped for diagnostic radiographs, extractions, temporary and permanent restorations, root canal therapy, and the drainage of abscesses, allowing a majority of presentations to be resolved within a single visit rather than deferred to a later appointment. Sterilisation and infection control procedures follow the same protocols applied during standard consulting hours.
Treatment options and associated costs are outlined before any procedure commences, with an estimate provided at the point of assessment. Where a presentation calls for specialist input, such as complex surgical extraction or maxillofacial assessment, referral pathways are arranged through the practice. Follow-up appointments are scheduled for patients requiring definitive restorative work once the immediate problem has been stabilised.
The adjustment reflects a broader pattern within the Australian dental sector, where practices in metropolitan centres have moved to accommodate patients whose working arrangements make weekday attendance difficult. Shift workers, tradespeople, and parents with school-aged children account for a considerable proportion of after-hours attendances at practices offering evening and weekend sessions. Earlier attention also limits the period over which an untreated infection can progress.
“The intention over the coming period is to maintain consistent staffing across the extended sessions and to review appointment data at regular intervals,” said Ponnusamy. “Adjustments to the roster will be guided by where demand is concentrated rather than by fixed assumptions about when problems occur. Coverage across public holiday periods is being examined as part of the same review.”
Emergency Dentist Perth operates from Shop 6/201 Flinders Street, Yokine, and attends to unscheduled dental presentations seven days a week. The practice provides pain relief, management of chipped and knocked-out teeth, extractions, and treatment of dental infection for patients from Yokine and the surrounding northern suburbs of Perth. Appointments outside standard business hours are allocated according to clinical priority, and the extended after-hours schedule is now in effect at the Flinders Street clinic.
For additional information about urgent dental care and related industry developments, contact Emergency Dentist Perth at Shop 6/201 Flinders Street, Yokine WA 6060. Enquiries regarding the practice’s services, treatment options, appointment availability, and follow-up support can be directed to (08) 6119 9605 or by email at info@emergencydentistperth.com.au.

San Jose, California, Aug 25, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — For Robert Clamon, motorcycle racing has never been about taking unnecessary chances. It has been about preparation, judgement, and knowing how to make decisions when there isn’t much time to hesitate.
Those lessons have followed him into his professional life.
Clamon, an Area Fleet Operations Supervisor with PG&E in San Jose, began his career as a mechanic at San Jose BMW before moving into management roles at Weston’s Auto Body and Monterey-Salinas Transit. Across each stage of his career, he has found that managing risk is less about avoiding uncertainty and more about being prepared for it.
“People hear motorcycle racing and think it’s all about speed,” Clamon said. “But if you’re not prepared, speed doesn’t help you. You need to understand the machine, pay attention to what’s happening around you, and know when to push and when to back off.”
That mindset has influenced how Clamon approaches decisions at work.
In racing, conditions can change quickly. A rider has to respond without losing focus. In operations, the details are different, but Clamon sees a similar need for calm thinking and situational awareness.
“You’re rarely going to have perfect information,” he said. “At some point, you have to make the best decision you can with what you know, then be willing to adjust if something changes.”
Preparation Before Pressure
Clamon’s mechanical background gave him an early appreciation for preparation. At San Jose BMW, he learned that problems often begin with details that are easy to overlook.
That lesson became even more important as he moved into leadership.
“When you’ve worked on the equipment yourself, you understand that small things matter,” he said. “You don’t want the first time you notice a problem to be when everything has already gone wrong.”
Rather than viewing preparation as a way to eliminate all risk, Clamon sees it as a way to create better options when something unexpected happens.
He carries the same philosophy into motorcycle racing. Proper maintenance, knowing the bike, understanding conditions, and staying mentally focused all help a rider make better decisions once the race begins.
A Serious Accident Changed His View of Risk
Clamon’s relationship with risk became more personal after he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident.
Recovery forced him to slow down and reconsider what progress looked like. It also challenged the idea that determination always means pushing harder.
“There were times when I wanted things to move faster than they were going to,” Clamon said. “You learn that sometimes the right decision is to be patient. That was a difficult lesson, but it’s one I’ve carried with me.”
The experience changed how he handles pressure. When a situation starts to feel overwhelming, he tries to avoid reacting to everything at once.
His approach is simple: take a breath, identify what matters most, and deal with the next problem in front of him.
“That doesn’t mean ignoring the bigger picture,” he said. “It means not letting the bigger picture stop you from making the next good decision.”
Why Good Risk-Taking Isn’t Reckless
Clamon believes people sometimes confuse confidence with certainty.
Whether someone is moving into management, suggesting a new idea, or taking on an unfamiliar responsibility, there’s rarely a guarantee that everything will work exactly as planned.
For Clamon, confidence comes from preparation and experience rather than pretending uncertainty doesn’t exist.
“Taking a risk doesn’t mean you stop thinking about the consequences,” he said. “You should understand what can go wrong, prepare for what you can, and then decide whether the risk makes sense.”
That perspective has shaped a career that moved from hands-on mechanical work into increasingly complex management responsibilities.
Clamon doesn’t see those earlier roles as separate from the work he does today. Instead, he views them as part of the experience that taught him how to judge problems, listen to people, and make decisions without overcomplicating them.
Motorcycle racing may seem far removed from fleet leadership, but for Clamon, the connection is clear.
Preparation matters before pressure arrives. Details matter when the stakes rise. And sometimes the most important skill isn’t knowing how fast to move, but knowing when to slow down.
About Robert Clamon
Robert Clamon is an Area Fleet Operations Supervisor with PG&E in San Jose, California. His career has included roles as a mechanic at San Jose BMW, General Manager at Weston’s Auto Body, and Fleet Supervisor at Monterey-Salinas Transit. His background combines hands-on automotive experience with years of management and fleet operations work.
Outside of his career, Clamon is interested in motorcycle racing, fosters miniature pigs, and is an avid dog lover. He values integrity, dependability, continuous learning, and practical problem-solving, and he credits both his professional experience and recovery from a serious motorcycle accident with shaping the way he approaches leadership and decision-making.
