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?

Wellows has published a new research study examining AI citation patterns across 9,471 prompts. The study analyzed 382,176 AI answers across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode. Sites cited often on other topics also tended to receive more citations on separate prompts on all five engines, and ChatGPT showed the weakest topic coverage signal.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 9th Oct 2026 – Wellows has published a new study examining AI citation patterns across 9,471 English-language prompts and 151 topics. The research found that websites cited often on other topics also tended to receive more citations on separate prompts within the topics tested.
Citation reach, a site’s citation frequency on prompts about other topics, had the strongest association with held-out citations on all five engines, with correlations from 0.29 on Perplexity and ChatGPT to 0.37 on Gemini. Reach was more closely associated with held-out citations than topic coverage on Gemini (0.37 against 0.20) and ChatGPT (0.29 against 0.13).
Citation coverage inside a topic was also associated with held-out citations. On four of five engines, it tracked held-out citations more closely than a stored 0 to 100 domain authority score, with the widest gap on Perplexity (0.25 against 0.15). On Gemini, the two were level, at 0.20 and 0.21.
ChatGPT showed the weakest coverage signal. Among sites with similar reach, the coverage correlation was 0.043 on ChatGPT and 0.208 on Google AI Overviews.
“A site an engine cites on one topic is more likely to be cited on the next prompt,” said Khadija Zaman, AI Search Manager at Wellows and author of the study. “That is an association in our data, not a recipe. We did not test whether publishing more changes it, and we say so in the report.”
For the study, Wellows collected 382,176 AI answers to the 9,471 prompts from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode between January and June 2026. Within each topic, researchers split the prompts into two sets, measured which of the 92,112 websites were cited in one set, and tested whether that pattern carried over to the held-out set. The study is observational, and it does not show that publishing more pages, PR, or link building earns citations.
The full method, charts, and data are available in the Wellows study on topical authority and AI citations.

Press Release
Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. Raises Fiscal 2026 Revenue Guidance 62% at Midpoint to $10–$11 Million and Reaffirms $400–$460 Million Fiscal 2027 Outlook
Miami, Florida, October 9th, 2026, FinanceWire
Delivery of thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines scheduled for delivery in October are expected to expand annual capacity to more than 10,000 metric tons of magnets as EM&T scales its non-China feedstock position to meet strong customer demand
Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EMAT), a U.S.-based critical materials and advanced manufacturing company, today raised its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to $10 million to $11 million, up from the previous range of $5 million to $8 million announced on September 10, 2026. The increase represents a 62% raise at the midpoint, delivered less than one month after the Company issued its initial outlook. EM&T also reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $400 million to $460 million.
Guidance Highlights
Fiscal 2026 revenue guidance raised to $10 million–$11 million (up from $5 million–$8 million); representing a 62% increase at the midpoint ($10.5 million vs. prior $6.5 million)
- Low end of the fiscal 2026 range doubled, from $5 million to $10 million
- Fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $400 million–$460 million reaffirmed; the $430 million midpoint represents approximately 41 times the raised fiscal 2026 midpoint
- Thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines scheduled for delivery in October 2026, with installation to commence immediately following delivery in Pohang, Republic of Korea
- Annual magnet production capacity expected to exceed 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets
- December 17, 2026 showcase of what EM&T believes is the largest commercial magnet facility in the world, ex-China
The raised guidance is driven by EM&T’s expanded ex-China rare earth feedstock position and the production capacity it unlocks, as well as improved rare earth pricing and continued strong commercial demand. The Company is actively scaling operations to meet this demand. In Pohang, thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines are scheduled for delivery in October 2026, with installation to commence immediately following delivery. Once operational, these machines are expected to expand annual rare earth magnet production capacity to more than 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets.
“The raised guidance reflects strong customer demand, improved rare earth pricing, and our ability to source rare earth materials that bring our additional production capacity online this year,” said Frank Moon, Chief Executive Officer of EM&T. “Our fiscal 2027 outlook is unchanged, and the operational priorities behind it remain clear: commission additional equipment, bring expanded power and facility capacity online, secure rare earth materials for higher production volumes, complete additional customer qualifications and convert demand into expanded magnet shipments. We will keep the market updated as we continue to execute at warp speed. We look forward to showcasing what we believe is the largest commercial magnet facility in the world, ex-China, on December 17, 2026. We have already received attendance confirmations from industry leaders and executives, government officials, trade partners, investors, banking research teams and, of course, our entire board, which includes veterans of senior U.S. government leadership.”
“Non-China rare earth magnet supply remains a strategic priority of U.S. national security and industrial policy decisions,” said Andrew Knaggs, President of EM&T. “DFARS 252.225-7052 is expected to extend the mine-to-magnet restriction across the entire supply chain for neodymium-iron-boron magnets beginning January 1, 2027, and the July 2026 Executive Order substantially tightened the conditions for waivers and directed faster qualification of compliant sources. EM&T’s manufacturing platform, non-China sourced rare earth materials and production expansion are built to meet those needs at commercial scale, while continuing to serve our established, revenue-generating global customer base.”

Press Release
Makeover Group Launches to Help Founders in Italy Build Businesses That Run Without Them
Italy, 9th Oct 2026 – The Makeover Group steps out as an operator-led holding company helping founders in Italy build businesses that run without them. Headquartered in Florence, the group builds, operates, and grows businesses across finance, property, blue collar trades, and business transformation in Italy.
Founded by Alessandro Badalamenti, the group addresses a core issue for entrepreneurs. Most businesses face founder dependency. The Makeover Group replaces this dependency with systems and shared infrastructure. Establishing the financial control, operations, and growth systems for founders allows a business to scale or be sold without relying on one person.
The group runs three operating companies across four verticals. TMG Books serves as an English-speaking accountant in Italy and an English-speaking commercialista. It provides expat accounting in Italy and Partita IVA setup for founders. BM Real Estate handles property management in Tuscany. Casa Bada Tuscany manages villa rentals, events, and destination weddings. The group also provides consulting to help owners build a business that runs without them.
The firm operates real businesses with real clients and payroll. It is not an advisory firm that consults from the sidelines. Everything it recommends it has run itself first. The group has helped a Tuscan food producer structure their business with clear financials and branding. It also hired more than 100 electricians in under eight weeks for a large data centre contractor.
“Most founders think they have a growth problem. What they actually have is a founder dependency problem. When you put in the systems and the financial clarity that let a business run without you, everything changes. That is the work we do,” said Alessandro Badalamenti.
About The Makeover Group:
The Makeover Group is an operator-led holding company based in Florence, Italy. The group replaces founder dependency with systems so businesses can run independently. It was founded by Alessandro Badalamenti, an operator who has built and run businesses across Florence, Sydney, and Seattle.
