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?

New Deterministic Security Model Closes Critical Data Protection Gaps as Enterprises Deploy Autonomous AI Workflows
Doha, Qatar, 17th February, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE– Edison.Watch today announced the launch of its Agentic AI Security Framework at Web Summit Qatar, introducing a new approach to enterprise AI security designed to address emerging risks posed by autonomous AI systems operating across organisational infrastructure.
As enterprises increasingly deploy agentic AI systems capable of independently executing workflows across email, cloud storage, messaging platforms, and internal databases, traditional data protection and access control models are proving insufficient. Edison.Watch’s new framework provides enterprises with security controls purpose-built for this next generation of AI automation.
Security Models Must Evolve for Autonomous AI
Unlike traditional AI assistants, agentic AI systems operate continuously and autonomously, accessing and transferring data between systems without constant human supervision. When these systems inherit broad user permissions, they can unintentionally aggregate and distribute sensitive information beyond authorised boundaries.
This creates new risks, including AI-driven data leakage, unauthorised data sharing, and increased exposure to insider threat scenarios.
“Agentic AI is transforming how work gets done, but it also introduces an entirely new class of security challenges,” said the Edison.Watch team at Web Summit Qatar. “Enterprise security architectures must evolve to ensure data remains protected even when AI agents operate independently across systems.”
Introducing Agent-Aware RBAC for Agentic AI
At the core of the framework is agent-aware role-based access control (RBAC), a model specifically designed for autonomous AI workflows.
Traditional AI safeguards often rely on prompt filtering or detection of sensitive data elements. In contrast, agent-aware RBAC focuses on tracking and controlling data flows throughout an AI agent’s entire workflow session.
Above: How RBAC breaks down just by connecting agents to your documents and email.
Once sensitive data enters an agent workflow, policy enforcement continues across all subsequent actions. Unauthorised exports through email, messaging platforms, or file-sharing tools are automatically blocked, preventing data leaks before they occur.
The framework recommends that organisations adopt one of two approaches:
- Limit which external tools AI agents can use to export data
• Deploy a centralised AI security gateway that enforces policy-aware controls without disrupting productivity
Addressing the Enterprise AI Visibility Fragmentation
A major challenge in securing agentic AI is the lack of centralised visibility into agent behaviour. Security teams often see fragmented logs across multiple platforms, making it difficult to monitor activity or investigate incidents.
The Edison.Watch framework addresses this through a centralised AI security gateway that routes agent tool interactions through a unified inspection layer. This enables:
- Real-time monitoring of agent activity
• Faster detection of security incidents
• Unified audit trails across AI workflows
• Improved governance and compliance oversight
• Integrations with standard SIEM tools
Helping IT Leaders Adopt AI without Security Theatre
While major AI providers remain cautious about enabling fully autonomous tool execution due to security concerns, enterprise demand for secure AI automation continues to grow rapidly.
The Edison.Watch framework provides a practical path forward, enabling organisations to deploy agentic AI while maintaining strong governance, compliance, and data protection controls.
Availability
The Agentic AI Security Framework is available today as part of OpenEdison, an open-source freemium local AI gateway platform designed to help enterprises securely deploy agentic AI workflows at scale.
Organisations seeking guidance on agentic AI security, AI governance, and enterprise AI data protection can contact Edison.Watch at hello@edison.watch or schedule a demo at cal.com/eito80/demo.
About Edison.Watch
Edison.Watch specialises in enterprise security solutions for agentic AI environments. The company develops security frameworks, monitoring platforms, and governance tools designed to protect data as autonomous AI systems access and move information across enterprise infrastructure.

Press Release
Billions of dollars flowed into spot ETFs; CPI index fueled rebound – XRP price poised to break $10 in 2026
London, UK, 17th February 2026, Donald Trump has recently expressed a positive attitude towards financial market innovation and capital market development on multiple public occasions, sparking market expectations for an improved policy environment for digital assets. Driven by both macroeconomic data and capital flows, overall sentiment in the crypto market has rebounded, with XRP’s price performance once again becoming a focus of investor attention.
Recently, spot ETFs have seen a continuous inflow of billions of dollars, which is seen by the market as one of the important drivers of the rebound in digital assets. The entry of institutional funds has not only improved market liquidity but also boosted the confidence of long-term investors. Analysts believe that when long-term capital continues to enter the market, price fluctuations tend to stabilize, laying the foundation for a new round of upward cycle.
CPI data fueled an asset rebound.
The latest CPI (Consumer Price Index) data shows that inflationary pressures have eased, and market expectations for future monetary policy are becoming more optimistic. Lower inflation expectations typically increase the attractiveness of risk assets, causing funds to flow back into growth and high-volatility assets, thereby driving an overall rebound in digital assets.
Driven by both an improved macroeconomic environment and capital inflows, analysts predict that XRP will still have significant upside potential in the future, and may even challenge or break through the important psychological barrier of $10 in 2026.
