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?

DEPH Labs Partners with GB Top Team to Bring AI-Powered Precision Health to Elite MMA Athletes
London, UK, October 30th, 2026, FinanceWire
Partnership will explore how DNA, epigenetic testing and personalized biological insights can help fighters better understand their health, recovery and long-term performance
DEPH Labs, a precision health company using DNA, epigenetics and AI to turn complex biological data into personalized, actionable health insights, today announced a partnership with Great Britain Top Team (GBTT), one of the UK’s leading mixed martial arts (MMA) training organizations. The partnership is geared towards bringing advanced biological testing and personalized health insights into the world of elite combat sports.
https://youtube.com/shorts/D09WepT5q6M?feature=share
The partnership extends DEPH Labs’ proprietary precision health technology to GBTT’s team of professional MMA fighters who regularly compete at the highest level internationally in promotions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Cage Warriors and the Professional Fighters League (PFL). The collaboration aims to give athletes a deeper understanding of their individual biology, helping them make more informed decisions about training, recovery, nutrition and long-term wellbeing.
Founded in 2019 and led by former UFC fighter Brad “One Punch” Pickett, Great Britain Top Team has established itself as a leading training destination for professional and aspiring MMA athletes. The organization is also home to one of the UK’s largest professional female MMA teams, making it a natural fit for DEPH Labs’ work in sex-specific biological testing.
DEPH Labs’ epigenetic testing technology includes the world’s first biological age platform developed entirely using single-sex data. Unlike conventional biological age models that combine male and female data, DEPH Labs’ approach accounts for differences in how men and women age, creating opportunities for more personalized health and performance insights.
Through at-home saliva testing and AI-powered analysis, DEPH Labs is helping athletes better understand their biological age and track how their bodies respond to the demands of professional training. Repeated epigenetic testing can also help identify changes in biological markers over time, providing another way to assess whether adjustments to training, nutrition, sleep and recovery routines are associated with measurable improvements.
For MMA athletes, these insights could be particularly valuable. Professional fighters face intense physical demands, from repeated training camps and weight management to recovery between bouts. While traditional performance testing can capture an athlete’s current condition, epigenetic analysis offers an additional perspective on how their biology may be changing over longer periods.
“Elite athletes spend an enormous amount of time trying to get the best out of their bodies, but there’s still so much we don’t understand about how individuals respond to training, recovery and nutrition,” said Lisa Loud, CEO of DEPH Labs. “DNA gives us a great foundation, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. By combining epigenetic testing with AI, we can help fighters understand how their biology is changing and whether the decisions they’re making are actually working. Partnering with GB Top Team gives us an exciting opportunity to bring that technology into one of the most physically demanding sports in the world.”
“We’re always looking for ways to give our fighters an edge, and understanding what’s happening inside their bodies is a big part of that,” said Brad Pickett UFC veteran & Co-Founder of Great Britain Top Team. “Training hard is one thing, but knowing how your body responds to that training is just as important. Working with DEPH Labs gives us a rare opportunity to use DNA and epigenetic testing to better understand recovery, performance and long-term health. Every fighter is different, and the more we can personalize their training and preparation, the better.”
The collaboration also reflects a growing interest in applying precision health technology beyond traditional healthcare settings. Rather than relying on generalized recommendations, DEPH Labs aims to make personalized biological insights accessible to individuals who want to better understand their health, whether they’re professional athletes or everyday consumers. DEPH Labs is bringing this technology to consumers through ENGNE, its men’s health and longevity platform, and UMMU, which focuses on female biology. Both platforms use saliva-based epigenetic testing to help individuals track biological changes and better understand how lifestyle choices may influence their long-term health.
The partnership follows the recent appointment of Lisa Loud as CEO of DEPH Labs, where she is executing a vision to make sophisticated health technology easier to use while giving individuals direct control over their biological information. Loud brings decades of experience across technology, financial services, blockchain and digital privacy, having held senior leadership positions at Apple, PayPal, BitMEX, ShapeShift and Secret Network.

Infinity Smiles Releases Medicare Dental Checklist for NY Seniors Ahead of Dec. 7 Deadline
With Medicare open enrollment closing soon, Infinity Smiles urges older New York residents to look closely at dental benefits before choosing a plan.
Queens, New York, United States, 30th Oct 2026 — Many older adults find out only after losing a tooth that Original Medicare does not pay for most dental care, including dentures and dental implants. With Medicare open enrollment ending on December 7, Infinity Smiles, a dental practice in Flushing, is encouraging seniors and their families to check a plan’s dental benefits before they sign up for the year ahead.
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) generally does not cover routine dental services such as cleanings, fillings, extractions, dentures or implants. Some Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits, but coverage varies widely from plan to plan, and many set annual dollar limits, waiting periods or restrictions on major procedures.
For seniors who are missing teeth or wearing dentures that no longer fit well, those details can mean the difference between getting treatment next year and putting it off.
“Every year we meet patients who assumed Medicare would help with dentures or implants and only learned otherwise when they needed treatment,” said Dr. Solomon Borukhov of Infinity Smiles. “Open enrollment is the main time of year seniors can change course. A few minutes spent reading the dental section of a plan can save a lot of stress and expense later.”
Dr. Solomon Borukhov recommends that seniors and the family members helping them ask these questions before choosing a plan:
- Does the plan include dental coverage at all? Original Medicare generally does not, so dental benefits usually come through a Medicare Advantage plan or a separate dental policy.
- What is the annual maximum? Many plans cap what they will pay each year, and the cap can be far below the cost of dentures or implants.
- Are dentures, implants and extractions covered, and at what percentage? Some plans cover only preventive care such as exams and cleanings.
- Are there waiting periods? Some plans require months of enrollment before covering major work.
- Is your current dentist in network? Out-of-network care can cost much more or not be covered.
“Missing teeth affect more than appearance,” Dr. Solomon Borukhov added. “They can make it harder to chew healthy foods and speak comfortably, and they can affect confidence. The good news is that seniors have more options today than many realize.”
Options for replacing missing teeth now range from traditional full and partial dentures to mini dental implants, which can help stabilize loose dentures, and full-arch treatments such as All-on-X implants. The right choice depends on a patient’s oral health, bone support, budget and goals, which is why Dr. Solomon Borukhov encourages seniors to have an exam and a treatment discussion before deciding what coverage they need.
Before choosing a plan or booking a visit, patients should also check that their plan works at the practice. Infinity Smiles is in network with many PPO dental plans but does not currently accept HMO dental plans. Call the office at 929-346-4974 to ask whether your plan is accepted, or check the practice’s insurance page.
“Bring your plan’s benefit summary with you to your appointment,” Dr. Solomon Borukhov said. “We can explain what a treatment would involve and what it would cost, so you can compare that with what your plan says it will pay. If anything in the plan is unclear, your insurer or a Medicare counselor can answer it.”
Seniors can review and compare plans at Medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE. Free and objective counseling is also available through the New York State Office for the Aging’s Health Insurance Information, Counseling and Assistance Program (HIICAP). Call 1-800-701-0501 and give your county to be connected to a local counselor.
Medicare open enrollment runs from October 15 through December 7, 2026.
