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?

Press Release
European Cybersecurity Firm ISGroup Shows What AI-Powered Attackers Can Find – and Why Europe Must Build This Capability at Home
1.24 billion tokens. 12,000 model requests. 29 confirmed vulnerabilities in software already hardened by a decade of independent audits. A landmark European study on LLM-driven vulnerability research – and a case for European digital sovereignty in security.
Italy, 31st Jul 2026 – As Europe pushes for strategic autonomy in critical technologies, a European cybersecurity firm has just demonstrated what that autonomy looks like in practice. ISGroup, an offensive-security company based in Italy and serving organisations across Europe, has published “What Can an Attacker Find With an LLM?” – one of the most extensive public studies to date on using frontier AI models to identify software vulnerabilities, conducted entirely with European expertise and rigorous, transparent methodology.
The message to European boardrooms and institutions is direct: attackers are already exploring AI-assisted vulnerability discovery. Europe cannot afford to depend exclusively on overseas providers to understand – and defend against – this shift. Sovereignty in cybersecurity means having this capability within Europe, accountable to European organisations and aligned with European regulatory frameworks.
To prove the point, ISGroup chose a demanding target: GlobaLeaks, the open-source whistleblowing platform used by newsrooms, companies, and public administrations across Europe and beyond to protect sources – software refined over more than a decade and already reviewed through multiple independent security audits. Using frontier models, ISGroup processed approximately 1.24 billion tokens across 12,000 model requests, generating 110 candidate findings. Every candidate was manually triaged by ISGroup’s researchers, with reproduction, impact assessment, and final classification remaining firmly in expert human hands.
The result: 29 confirmed vulnerabilities, 12 denial-of-service issues, and 42 hardening observations, all responsibly disclosed and the most critical already fixed – a concrete contribution to the resilience of software that protects whistleblowers, a value enshrined in European law through the EU Whistleblowing Directive.
The study also delivers what European decision-makers need most: transparency on real costs, a documented methodology – threat model, taxonomy of weakness classes, strict evidence requirements – and an honest account of the limitations: false positives, non-deterministic results, and the indispensable role of expert validation.
For European organisations, the implications are immediate. Continuous, repository-wide security review – once the preserve of large budgets and weeks of specialist effort – is now within reach for companies of every size and sector. From regulated industries facing NIS2 and DORA obligations to software vendors preparing for the Cyber Resilience Act, ISGroup’s research-driven approach is designed to serve the full spectrum of European enterprises and institutions.
“Artificial intelligence does not replace specialist expertise, but it increases the amount of code a team can analyse and reduces the cost of doing so,” said Francesco Ongaro, founder of ISGroup. “Experts still have the decisive role of distinguishing a plausible hypothesis from a real vulnerability.”
With this publication, ISGroup positions itself as a reference point for AI-assisted offensive security in Europe – proof that world-class security research does not need to be imported.
The full report, including methodology, costs, and complete results, is available at: https://www.isgroup.biz/en/cyber-security/llm-based-code-security-review-costs-findings-methodology.html
About ISGroup: ISGroup is a European cybersecurity company based in Italy, specialising in offensive security, penetration testing, and security research. ISGroup supports European enterprises, institutions, and software vendors of all sizes in securing critical software and infrastructure, with a research-driven approach rooted in European values of transparency and accountability.

United States, 31st Jul 2026 – A new standard is emerging in the cryptocurrency space with the introduction of OCTOS, a project built on the BNB Smart Chain that seeks to solve one of the most persistent dilemmas in the digital asset market: the memecoin paradox. Driven by the philosophy that while memes have the power to bring people together, only true utility gives them a reason to stay, the team behind OCTOS has officially outlined its vision to bridge community-driven momentum with genuine, everyday use cases.
The origins of OCTOS stem from a deep observation of the cryptocurrency market’s evolution over the last fifteen years. Early digital currencies like Bitcoin initially faced skepticism regarding their practical use, yet eventually achieved undeniable market viability through collective human choice and social consensus. In recent years, the explosion of the memecoin sector proved that tokens built on humor, culture, and momentum could build enormous, borderless communities and achieve staggering market valuations. However, many of these tokens lacked practical applications, leaving holders with assets whose sole purpose was speculative trading.
OCTOS was designed to break this cycle. At the core of the project is a distinct mission: Creating marketability with memecoin and expanding utility through participation.
Rather than viewing market attention and utility as mutually exclusive, OCTOS aims to synthesize the two. The project recognizes that while collective belief and market consensus give an asset the opportunity to exist, it is the responsibility of the creators to provide a compelling reason for that asset to endure.
Play as Genuine Utility
Rejecting the notion that every blockchain project must reinvent global finance to be valuable, OCTOS embraces a fundamental human truth: people seek out entertainment, form emotional connections with games, and value shared experiences. Therefore, the ecosystem has adopted “play” as its primary utility.
By integrating OCTOS into games, digital events, and collaborative entertainment, the token transforms from a speculative asset into a functional currency. The first working example of this initiative is Space Ladder, an interactive game deployed within the OCTOSDAO ecosystem. Space Ladder serves as the inaugural proof-of-concept, allowing users to actively utilize their tokens in a highly engaging digital environment.
The Vision for OCTOSDAO: An Autonomous Community
While the developers have built the initial framework, the ultimate destination for the project is OCTOSDAO, a fully decentralized and autonomous community. The creators envision a future where OCTOS is not managed by a single central operator, but rather by the token holders themselves.
In this decentralized future, participants will have the power to propose new games, organize global events, and engineer novel use cases for the token. The ecosystem is designed to be cyclical and self-sustaining: greater utility attracts new participants, and those new participants, in turn, inspire the creation of more games and events. Through this continuous loop of engagement, OCTOS aims to build long-lasting market viability.
“A token may begin as a meme, but when enough people recognize its price, choose to hold it, and willingly exchange it, it becomes a market asset created through collective belief,” a representative for OCTOS shared, reflecting on the project’s foundational ethos. “However, market recognition does not release token creators from responsibility. OCTOS exists to ensure that the attention generated by a meme is ultimately connected to real use. OCTOS is not built by belief alone; it is built through participation.”
A Transparent Path Forward
Currently in its early stages of development, the OCTOS team remains committed to transparency, choosing to focus on building actionable utility rather than making speculative promises about price appreciation or exchange listings. The project’s immediate focus remains on delivering real value: one game, one event, and one community contribution at a time.
As OCTOS continues to grow, it invites cryptocurrency enthusiasts, gamers, and creators worldwide to join a living digital asset that is used, enjoyed, and continuously expanded by its community.
