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?

Right Away Locksmith, a 24/7 Houston-based locksmith company owned by Chavah Rachel Rottman, is highlighting that not all locksmith services are the same — emergency, residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith work each require different skills and tools. The release uses this distinction as its news hook, explaining how choosing the wrong type of help during a lockout can cost people time and money. It features a quote from Rottman urging residents to understand these service categories before an emergency happens, then walks through what each category covers. The release closes with a direct call to action: save the company’s number now and call 832-850-5261 for round-the-clock help. It wraps up with standard boilerplate, contact details, and SEO metadata optimized around “Houston Locksmith,” “Emergency Locksmith,” and “24/7 Locksmith.”
Houston, Texas, United States, 14th Sep 2026 – Not every locksmith call is the same, and Houston-area residents are being encouraged to understand the different types of locksmith services available before an emergency strikes.
For homeowners, drivers, and business owners across Houston, a lockout can happen at the worst possible moment, and not every locksmith call resolves it the same way. Emergency lockouts, rekeying, commercial access systems, and automotive key replacement each require different tools, training, and response times, yet many callers do not realize these fall under different service categories until they are standing outside a locked door at 2 a.m. In a city the size of Houston, where residents commute long distances and businesses often operate outside standard hours, knowing who to call, and why, can make the difference between a five-minute fix and an hours-long ordeal.
“Most people do not think about what kind of locksmith they need until they are already locked out,” said Chavah Rachel Rottman, Owner of Right Away Locksmith. “Knowing the difference between an emergency locksmith, a residential locksmith, and an automotive locksmith can save people time, money, and a lot of stress when something goes wrong. A general handyman or an unlicensed provider often cannot handle the specialized tools that modern locks and vehicle key systems require.”
Right Away Locksmith serves the greater Houston area around the clock, offering emergency lockout assistance, residential rekeying and lock installation, commercial access and hardware services, and automotive key and fob solutions. Understanding the different types of locksmith services available helps residents choose the right response for the situation, since a home lockout calls for a different skill set than a broken key in an ignition or a commercial door hardware failure. Residential work typically involves rekeying, deadbolt installation, and lock repair after a break-in or lost key. Commercial locksmith work covers master key systems, access control, and hardware for offices and retail spaces. Automotive locksmith services, meanwhile, require specialized equipment to cut and program transponder keys and fobs for late-model vehicles. Emergency locksmith service overlaps with all three categories, since a lockout, a broken key, or a failed lock can happen at a home, a vehicle, or a business at any hour. The company’s technicians are dispatched 24/7, with response times built around genuine emergencies rather than scheduled appointments.
Houston residents are encouraged to save a locksmith’s number before an emergency happens, not after. Anyone locked out of a home, vehicle, or business in the Houston area can call Right Away Locksmith at 832-850-5261 for immediate assistance, day or night.

Right Away Locksmith is a Houston-based locksmith service providing emergency, residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith solutions 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Singapore, Singapore, September 14th, 2026, Chainwire
PopDEX a trader-first perpetual decentralized exchange, has surpassed $61 million in total value locked (TVL) and $2 billion in cumulative trading volume during its Closed Beta, as the perpetual decentralized exchange builds early traction ahead of broader market expansion. The platform now supports 66 trading pairs spanning major cryptocurrencies, RWA-related markets, and emerging assets.
The milestones provide an early indication of trading activity and liquidity developing on PopDEX while access remains in Closed Beta. The platform has used this period to test its market structure under live conditions, gather feedback from traders and liquidity providers, and expand the range of markets available through its onchain trading environment.
“Closed Beta was meant to tell us whether traders would actually use what we were building, and $2 billion in trading volume gives us a pretty clear answer,” said Zach Prater, Head of Traders at PopDEX. “The more important part now is what we learn from that activity. Traders are telling us where they want deeper markets, faster execution, and better tools, and we’re using that feedback to shape PopDEX before we open it more broadly.”
PopDEX is building around a CLOB-based market structure designed to support professional liquidity provision while maintaining a responsive trading experience for individual users. Through block batch processing and intra-block transaction ordering, the platform targets approximately 100–150ms execution responsiveness under normal conditions. More frequent index-price and mark-price updates have also been introduced to support liquidation monitoring, conditional orders and risk management, while the platform continues to test liquidation and ADL scenarios under extreme market conditions.
Market coverage has expanded alongside the underlying trading infrastructure. PopDEX has added crypto, RWA-related and community-driven markets throughout Closed Beta, most recently introducing perpetual contracts for PONS, CASHCAT and MARSCOIN in response to interest around Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain assets. Further market expansion is planned as PopDEX develops broader global asset exposure.
Closed Beta has also served as a live development environment. Feedback from traders and API users has informed improvements across account access, deposits and withdrawals, position management, risk visibility and API execution. PopDEX is now extending that work toward a more trader-friendly mobile experience through H5 browser support and a dedicated mobile app.
The platform is also experimenting with how trading incentives are structured. Its third Closed Beta reward distribution recognized early traders and community contributors, with the highest reward in the latest round exceeding $3,300 for a single address, based on public community receipts. PopDEX’s Meme Gang War, running from September 7 to September 21, adds another approach by determining the winning side according to the proportion of eligible participants achieving positive PnL rather than trading volume alone.
PopDEX’s Closed Beta development follows a $30 million strategic seed investment led by Foresight Ventures in May 2026, supporting liquidity, trading depth, product development and global market expansion. PopDEX is also working with ecosystem partners including Bitget Wallet to reduce friction for users accessing onchain perpetual markets.
As Closed Beta progresses, PopDEX will continue focusing on deeper liquidity, additional markets, execution infrastructure and greater access across devices. The longer-term goal is to build an onchain derivatives venue where crypto and broader global markets can be traded with the market depth, execution and risk infrastructure required by active and professional traders.
About PopDEX
PopDEX is a trader-first perpetual decentralized exchange focused on capital efficiency, professional trading experience, transparent market structure and value return for active contributors.

Press Release
Pleume Paris Launches the World’s First Hands-Free Hair Dryer with Patented Three-Mode Convertible Design
Pleume Paris has launched the Pleume, a patented hair dryer with handheld, freestanding, and wall-mounted modes via a detachable magnetic handle; designed to let users dry and style their hair completely hands-free.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, 14th Sep 2026 — Pleume Paris announces the launch of Pleume, described by the company as the world’s first hands-free hair dryer. With a convertible and detachable magnetic handle, the dryer converts between handheld, freestanding, and wall-mounted operating modes, allowing users to dry and style their hair with both hands free to multitask or relax.
“Women have endured the 30-minute overhead arm workout for decades, because hair dryer designs haven’t fundamentally changed in that time,” said Jenson Lee, co-founder of Pleume Paris. “Pleume delivers salon-class airflow from a dryer that stands hands-free on your counter or mounts on your wall. It’s truly the first dryer that dries and styles your hair while your hands are free to send emails, do makeup, scroll your phone, or just relax after a long day. Cars now drive themselves; it’s about time hair dryers caught up.”
The design is fully patented, protected under U.S. Patent No. 12,376,659 with U.S. Design Patent Nos. D932,691S and D932,6912S. Pleume Paris states that there are no other hair dryers on the market that offer any remotely similar convertible handle designs, let alone hands free drying use, in a reasonable, convenient size.
One of Pleume’s primary goals is alleviating the pain and hassle of having to manually hold traditional hair dryers to dry hair, and the problem is well documented. Hairdressers, who dry and style hair all day, are one of the most studied groups for shoulder pain. The research points at one main cause: working with arms raised for prolonged periods of time. Studies have found that as many as 6 in 10 hairdressers experience shoulder pain in a given year, and that the longer and higher the arms stay up, the worse the pain gets. Doctors also list holding up arms for strenuous tasks such as manual hair drying over long periods of time as a leading cause of shoulder impingement, a common and painful shoulder condition.
Pleume’s freestanding and wall-mounted applications take this strain out of hair drying entirely.
A survey of 2,000 adults conducted by hair care brand Gee Hair found that women spend an average of approximately six and a half hours per week on hair care — more than 330 hours per year, the equivalent of two full weeks a year; an entire year’s worth of vacation. A separate survey conducted by the Today show and AOL similarly found that women’s daily hair and makeup routines total roughly two full weeks per year.
Pleume aims to give every one of those precious hours back as well as offering a seamlessly premium and weightless styling experience.
Pleume is built on the same high-speed brushless motor class and negative ionic technology used in leading premium dryers, housed in a compact aluminum body rather than the typical hard plastic. A detachable cord allows the unit to stand upright on a counter, and the dryer packs into an included leather travel case. It is currently available in two finishes, Amber and Blush, and ships across North and South America through pleumeparis.com with a two-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Pleume Paris introduced the product at CosmoProf North America in Las Vegas in July 2026, where it exhibited to retailers and international distributors.
About Pleume Paris
Pleume Paris is a French-American beauty technology brand designing tools that are optimized for real life and everyday use. Its first product, Pleume, is the world’s first hands-free hair dryer: fully patented, designed in Paris, and built for people who would rather spend their mornings and evenings living rather than holding a dryer.
