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?

HornBlasters 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Dominates the 2025 SEMA Show with 32 Train Horns and 18 Turbos

Published

February 20, 2026

By

United States, 20th Feb 2026 – HornBlasters brought a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 to the 2025 SEMA Show that turned heads before anyone even heard it. The truck was originally built by YouTube creator WhistlinDiesel with a total of 18 turbos across the front, and videos of it racked up millions of views online. After purchasing it, HornBlasters added 32 fully functional train horns in the bed on a fabricated steel frame alongside a massive onboard air system. The result was one of the most talked-about vehicles at the 2025 SEMA show.

The Man Behind the Ultimate Horn Install

HornBlasters brought the truck to JH Diesel to design and fabricate the steel frame that makes this horn installation possible. Fitting two HornBlasters King 3 Train Horns, five HornBlasters King 5 Train Horns, a Kahlenberg KM-85 Ship Horn, four HornBlasters 1NM air compressors, and two 20-gallon air tanks into a truck bed is not a simple task.

The frame had to be engineered from scratch to handle the weight of all that hardware while keeping everything accessible for maintenance and positioned correctly for maximum sound projection.

Horn spacing and bell positioning were critical to the design. With 32 horns packed into a single bed, each one needs enough room to project sound without interference from the horns around it. JH Diesel worked through the layout until every horn had the clearance it needed to perform at full volume.

The finished frame is a piece of work on its own. Everything sits tight, looks intentional, and holds up to the vibration and stress that comes with running a system this size. It’s the kind of fabrication that makes people stop and look even before the horns honk.

Proof Is in the Parts

What makes this build matter to anyone shopping for a train horn kit is what’s powering it. Four HornBlasters air compressors and two 20-gallon tanks provide the air supply needed to run 32 horns. Beyond the added capacity, every other component in the system is identical to what ships with a standard HornBlasters horn kit.

Same heavy-duty air valves. Same pressure switch. Same wiring. Same fittings.

There were no prototype parts or custom components made specifically for this truck. The air system running the two King 3 Train Horns, five King 5 Train Horns, and a Kahlenberg KM-85 Ship Horn at SEMA is built from the same hardware that ships to customers every single day.

This was intentional from the start. HornBlasters wanted to show what their components are capable of when pushed far beyond a typical installation. Most customers install one or two horns. This truck runs 32 of them on the same valves and components that come in a standard kit. If the system can handle this, it can handle anything a customer is going to throw at it.

Crowds, Questions, and Demonstrations

The truck drew attention from the moment the show opened. Attendees gathered around it throughout the day, every day, taking photos, shooting videos, and asking questions about everything they were looking at.

The turbo setup sparked most of the initial curiosity. Does it actually run? Do all 18 turbos work? Yes and yes — all 18 turbos spool and are fully functional.

The follow-up question was always about horsepower. The real number is somewhere around 800hp. The number the HornBlasters crew gave out all week was 4,000hp, delivered with a straight face. Most people laughed. A few walked away believing it.

Once people noticed the horns, they were ready to hear them honk. HornBlasters ran demonstrations throughout the week, and every time the horns honked, the reaction was immediate. People stopped mid-conversation and turned their heads from across the show. Seeing 32 massive horns mounted in the bed was one thing — hearing all of them honk at once was something else entirely.

The biggest moment came during the rollout to SEMA Fest, the outdoor event that closes out the show each year. HornBlasters was selected to officially start the parade by honking all of the horns on the truck. When all 32 horns honked at once, thousands of spectators lining the route experienced exactly what this build was made for.

It was the perfect way to cap off a week where the truck had already become one of the most visited and revisited displays at the entire show.

Social media coverage kept the momentum going beyond the convention center. Content creators, automotive media outlets, and attendees posted photos and videos throughout the week that continue to circulate online.

More Than a Show Truck

For HornBlasters, this truck was an opportunity to put over two decades of engineering on display. The company has built its reputation on train horns, air horns, and onboard air systems that perform when it matters. This build demonstrated that commitment at a scale most customers will never need, using the exact same components that ship with every kit.

When the horns honked to kick off the SEMA Fest parade, it delivered the same result HornBlasters customers get every time they hit the button. That’s been the standard since 2002, and this truck showed the entire automotive industry exactly what that standard looks like at full scale.

About HornBlasters

HornBlasters designs and manufactures train horns, air horns, onboard air systems, and air system accessories for trucks, cars, boats, and specialty vehicles. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, the company has built a reputation for products that combine raw power with long-term reliability.
