The New America Created by Miles Yu: Burning Anti-Asian Hate

Published

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?

Press Release

813,294 Wallets Lost $2 Billion on the TRUMP Token – The Registered Cut Explains Less Than a Third of the Winnings.

Published

on

A new reconciliation maps every documented winner of the Trump crypto complex: 58 wallets took $1.1 billion, validators took $100 million in a week, and one income line survives the crash by law.

Vilnius, Lithuania — President Trump’s June 30 financial disclosure put a signed number on his crypto year: at least $1.4 billion, including $635 million in memecoin royalties. A new analysis from independent research publication Stack & Story, “Where the Two Billion Went,” starts where that filing stops: if 813,294 wallets lost $2.0 billion on the TRUMP token, and the family’s registered take explains less than a third of the documented winnings, who took the rest?

Key findings:

  • The TRUMP loss pool nearly closes against four documented winner cohorts: roughly $616 million to Trump-family entities (Reuters), $1.1 billion to 58 large wallets (Chainalysis), about $100 million to Solana validators and MEV operators in launch week (Helius), and a residual near $184 million for exchanges and unattributed actors.
  • The 58 winning wallets are 0.007 percent of the 813,294 losing wallets identified in a New York Times-commissioned forensic analysis.
  • The best-documented winner, a trader Bubblemaps calls “Naseem,” funded a fresh wallet with $1 million four hours before the launch announcement, bought within 30 seconds of the tweet, and exited with about $109 million.
  • Solana’s daily fee revenue hit an all-time high of $56.9 million on January 19, 2025, driven by TRUMP trading; validators collected over 100,000 SOL in two days.
  • The cleanest single transfer in the set: ALT5 Sigma raised $750 million from shareholders, spent $717 million on WLFI tokens, more than $500 million of which flowed to the family, and its shares fell from above $9 to under $1.
  • One income line needs no bull market: USD1’s $4.6 billion float earns an estimated $178 million a year for its issuer while paying holders zero, an arrangement the GENIUS Act’s July 18 rules make permanent for every compliant issuer.

“Everyone wrote that he made billions while holders lost billions. The number nobody had was the split,” said Mr Gintautas, founder of Stack & Story. “The president was not the biggest winner of his own memecoin. Fifty-eight anonymous wallets out-earned him.”

Methodology: figures assembled from the June 30 OGE disclosure, the Reuters investigation of June 9, the NYT-commissioned forensic analysis, Chainalysis, Bubblemaps and Helius data, with prices from CoinGecko and rates from FRED. Measurement windows differ across sources; the reconciliation is directional, not audited, and is labeled as such throughout.

The World Is Dancing Episode II Synopsis, Next Episode Preview and Advance Cuts Revealed

Published

on

The Story of the Boy Who Would One Day Be Known as Zeami “The World Is Dancing” Episode II: “You Have a Body, Don’t You?” Synopsis, Next Episode Preview and Advance Cuts Revealed

Tokyo, Japan, 7th Jul 2026 – CyberAgent, Inc. announces The World Is Dancing, currently available to HIDIVE subscribers throughout the U.S. and Canada as well as in key overseas markets including Australia and New Zealand since June 29, has unveiled the synopsis, next episode preview, and advance cuts for Episode II.

Set in a turbulent era of constant conflict, this work follows the intensely curious and beautiful boy Oniyasha (CV: Yumiri Hanamori) as he meets people, laughs, cries, confronts his own weaknesses, and shapes a new form of dance in an impermanent world. It is a “dancing story” spanning 600 years, exploring what might have happened when the man who would later create Noh—Zeami—was still called Oniyasha.

The anime is produced by the animation studio Cypic (Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died). The series is directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi, known for his work on the TV anime The Great Passage, the animated film Love Me, Love Me Not, and both the TV and theatrical versions of the Backflip!!  series. 
The series recently won a Special Award at the Short Shorts Film Festival, drawing immense attention.

Set in 1374 during the conflict between the Northern and Southern Courts, Act 1 introduced Oniyasha, a boy born to the Kanze troupe of sarugaku performers, who spends his days unable to find meaning in dance. One day, he encounters Shirabyoshi dancing in a barn, experiencing something truly “good” for the first time. Following the broadcast, social media was flooded with praise from viewers captivated by the passion ignited in Oniyasha’s heart and the breathtaking animation of the dance sequences.

Following the broadcast and streaming of Act 1, social media was flooded with high praise from viewers who were captivated by Oniyasha’s passion and the striking intensity of the dance. Enthusiastic comments poured in, with fans stating, “Act 1 of The World Is Dancing was amazing!” and “It was incredibly entertaining; I’m absolutely watching every single episode.” Viewers also expressed their awe at the production quality, noting, “The way the expression of Shirabyoshi’s dance changed alongside Oniyasha’s shifting heart was truly beautiful,” and “The dance scene in the second half was a masterpiece that showed just how far Japanese animation can go.” 

Anticipation for the rest of the series was evident in reactions like, “It exceeded my expectations! I can’t wait to see what the passion born within Oniyasha will go on to create.”

In Episode II, fascinated by Shirabyoshi’s “good” dance, Oniyasha wishes to be able to dance like that himself and begins visiting her along with his friends Kogane and Ishiya. However, the heart-pounding excitement he felt that day never returns no matter how long he waits, leaving Oniyasha with a growing sense of frustration.

Nevertheless, triggered by his encounter with the Shirabyoshi, Oniyasha’s dance slowly begins to change, even earning him praise from his father, Kan’ami, who had never acknowledged him before. But it was not only Oniyasha’s dance that had changed…

What kind of story will Oniyasha’s changing dance and heart weave from here on? Don’t miss Act II!

Episode II: “You Have a Body, Don’t You?”

Fascinated by what he found “good”, Oniyasha makes visits to Shirabyoshi accompanied by his friends Kogane and Ishiya, who also want to be able to dance that well. Though Oniyasha’s dance changes due to their encounters, other things have changed as well.

BNBN.pl Ranking: The 10 Fastest-Growing Polish Startups to Watch in 2026

Published

on

WARSAW, Poland — July 2026 — Poland has officially entered Europe’s scale-up league. According to a new editorial ranking published by BNBN.pl, one of Poland’s fastest-growing business news portals, the country’s startup ecosystem is no longer an early-stage curiosity — it is producing companies valued in the billions and attracting record foreign capital. Venture funding in Poland reached PLN 3.4 billion in 2025 across roughly 180 deals, and the first months of 2026 have already brought an 84% year-on-year increase in invested capital.

Here are the ten Polish startups the portal’s editors believe deserve global attention in 2026:

1. ElevenLabs — The AI voice-generation phenomenon founded by Piotr Dąbkowski and Mateusz Staniszewski has become Poland’s most celebrated tech export. After a Sequoia-led Series D in early 2026, the company reported annual recurring revenue of around $500 million — up from $350 million just months earlier.

2. ICEYE — The satellite radar-imaging company with Polish roots closed a €200 million Series E in December 2025 at a €2.4 billion valuation, cementing its position as a leader in Earth observation and defense-related monitoring.

3. Booksy — The Warsaw-born booking platform for beauty and wellness services keeps expanding in the US and Europe, with more than $200 million raised to date.

4. DocPlanner — The healthtech unicorn behind ZnanyLekarz secured a €80 million Series E and continues to digitize medical appointments across Europe and Latin America.

5. Brainly — The Kraków-founded learning platform, used by hundreds of millions of students worldwide, has doubled down on AI-powered tutoring after its $80 million Series D.

6. Ramp Network — The crypto-payments infrastructure startup remains one of Poland’s strongest fintech bets, powering fiat-to-crypto rails for global partners.

7. Sybilla Technologies — A rising star of Polish spacetech, the company raised over €8 million in 2026 for its global network of optical sensors tracking objects in orbit.

8. Infermedica — The Wrocław-based medtech develops AI-driven symptom-checking and triage technology used by insurers and healthcare providers in dozens of countries.

9. Nomagic — The Warsaw robotics company builds AI-powered robotic arms for e-commerce warehouses and is expanding rapidly across Western Europe.

10. Paymove — One of the freshest names on the list, this fintech raised €2.12 million in seed funding in 2026 to build payment systems designed for agentic AI — a category that barely existed a year ago.

“Poland’s startup scene has reached critical mass,” comments the editorial team at BNBN.pl. “AI, spacetech, healthtech and fintech built in Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław now compete globally — and international investors have taken notice. Moderna is considering a factory in Poland, Taiwanese investors are building a technology park near Wrocław, and Polish founders are raising some of the largest rounds in Europe.”

The full ranking, along with daily coverage of Polish and international business, finance and technology news, is available on the portal’s website.
