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?

Hong Kong – April 27, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As one of the most economically dynamic regions in the world, the linkage between Asia’s core business hubs is becoming increasingly close. To adapt to this trend and help multinational enterprises achieve highly efficient cross-regional PR synergy, SeaPRwire (https://seaprwire.com) announced today that it has officially completed a comprehensive strategic upgrade of its “one-stop” PR communication links across Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore, as Asia’s four major economic and financial engines, each possess unique media ecosystems and business cultures, yet they are simultaneously the preferred choices for many multinational enterprises setting up Asia-Pacific headquarters. In the past, when enterprises conducted PR placements in these regions, they often had to interface with different local agencies, which not only incurred high communication costs but also made it difficult to guarantee brand tonality consistency. The core of SeaPRwire’s upgrade this time is to break down geographical barriers and integrate top-tier media resources from these four regions in a modular, one-stop manner.
Through the upgraded full-featured workbench, corporate PR teams only need to use a single background to simultaneously assign and monitor news distribution tasks in these four countries and regions. Based on the communication goals set by the enterprise, the AI system automatically coordinates the distribution rhythm of media across the four regions. Whether releasing strategies in Singapore, synchronizing with capital markets in Hong Kong, or conducting localized product promotions in Japan and South Korea, millisecond-level cross-border synergy and voice resonance can be achieved.
“Business competition in Asia has long ceased to be a solo fight; it is a contest of regional synergy,” emphasized SeaPRwire’s VP of Product. “By opening up the links across Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore, we aim to provide enterprises with a ‘PR highway network’ covering Asia’s core economic circles. Enterprises can easily leverage the attention of mainstream media across the entirety of Asia as simply as distributing drafts locally.”
About SeaPRwire
SeaPRwire is Asia’s leading AI-driven earned media management platform, purpose-built to empower PR and communications professionals. Through its flagship Branding-Insight Program, the platform connects clients to over 80,000 journalists and an influencer matrix reaching 300 million followers.

Reed Haimson: Why the 1031 Exchange Is Still the Smartest Wealth-Building Tool Most Investors Misunderstand
-
How industry expert Reed Haimson explains why strategic real estate deferral continues to outperform short-term thinking in modern investment portfolios
Nashville, TN, 27th April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Most real estate investors focus on what feels immediate: cash flow, appreciation, and the next deal. But some of the most successful wealth builders operate on a completely different timeline. They think in decades, not transactions. At the center of that long-game strategy is the 1031 exchange, a tax-deferral mechanism that allows investors to sell a property and reinvest the proceeds into another “like-kind” property without immediately paying capital gains taxes.
Industry expert Reed Haimson of Passive Realty Group, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and Founder and President, frequently emphasizes that the real advantage is not just tax deferral, but capital preservation across multiple investment cycles. In his view, the biggest mistake investors make is treating real estate exits as endpoints rather than transitions.
Despite its long-standing presence in the U.S. tax code, the 1031 exchange is still widely misunderstood. Many investors either underuse it, misuse it, or fail to integrate it into a broader wealth-building strategy. The result is a pattern of unnecessary tax exposure and stalled portfolio growth.
At Passive Realty Group, investor education often starts with a simple question posed by Reed Haimson himself: are you building income, or are you building wealth? The 1031 exchange is one of the clearest bridges between the two. It allows investors to keep their capital fully deployed, rather than losing a significant portion of it to taxation at each sale.
When used correctly, it becomes less of a tax tactic and more of a compounding engine that quietly accelerates portfolio growth across multiple property cycles.
How the 1031 Exchange Actually Creates Momentum, Not Just Deferral
On paper, the 1031 exchange appears simple: sell one investment property, reinvest into another, and defer capital gains taxes. In practice, its real power lies in what it prevents: capital erosion.
Reed Haimson often describes this as “leakage in the system,” where every taxable sale quietly shrinks an investor’s reinvestment capacity. Without a 1031 exchange, each profitable sale typically triggers a tax event that can significantly reduce reinvestment power. This slows portfolio scaling and limits long-term compounding.
The 1031 exchange removes that friction. By preserving full equity, investors are able to move into larger or higher-performing assets without restarting from a reduced capital base. Over time, this creates a compounding effect where each transaction builds on the last rather than resetting progress.
However, Reed Haimson is quick to correct the misconception that it is simply a tax delay. That framing undersells its strategic value. It is about repositioning capital efficiently across market cycles, not just postponing taxes.
Investors who understand this principle often use exchanges to shift from active management to passive structures, from lower-growth markets to high-appreciation regions, or from single assets into diversified portfolios. The exchange becomes less about the property being sold and more about the next strategic position in a long-term wealth map.
Common Misunderstandings That Cost Investors Long-Term Growth
Despite its advantages, the 1031 exchange is frequently misapplied, and those mistakes often stem from oversimplification.
Reed Haimson points out that one of the most common misconceptions is assuming that any property swap qualifies as a like-kind exchange without careful planning. In reality, IRS rules are strict. The identification window, closing timeline, and use of a qualified intermediary are all non-negotiable. Missing even one step can invalidate the entire tax deferral.
Another misunderstanding is timing. Investors often rush into exchanges without aligning them to broader portfolio goals. A poorly timed exchange can lock capital into an underperforming asset simply to meet a deadline, which defeats the purpose of strategic reinvestment.
Emotional decision-making is another major issue. Many investors treat the exchange as a reaction to market pressure rather than a proactive strategy. They sell because management becomes inconvenient or because they believe the market has peaked, not because the asset no longer fits their long-term plan.
Perhaps the most costly misunderstanding is the failure to integrate estate planning. The 1031 exchange does not eliminate taxes; it defers them. Without proper structuring, deferred tax exposure can carry forward to heirs unless addressed through long-term planning strategies.
These gaps are not failures of the tool itself but failures of strategy.
Strategic Application: Turning Exchanges Into Portfolio Architecture
When applied with intention, the 1031 exchange becomes a cornerstone of portfolio architecture rather than a one-time tax strategy.
Reed Haimson and Passive Realty Group approach each exchange as a deliberate upgrade in an investor’s financial blueprint. Sophisticated investors use it to continuously refine holdings, moving from management-heavy assets into professionally managed structures, from moderate-growth markets into high-growth corridors, or from scattered properties into consolidated, higher-efficiency assets.
This is where advisory-led investing becomes essential. The focus shifts from transaction execution to strategic direction. Each exchange is evaluated based on its contribution to long-term financial independence rather than short-term tax savings.
Market selection plays a key role. Investors are encouraged to evaluate macroeconomic indicators such as job growth, population migration, infrastructure development, and rental demand stability rather than relying solely on local familiarity.
Advanced strategies may also pair 1031 exchanges with value-add improvements or repositioning strategies post-exchange to enhance income performance in the new asset.
The result is a portfolio that evolves intentionally over time, more structured, more efficient, and increasingly aligned with long-term goals.
Why the 1031 Exchange Still Matters in a Changing Economy
In a financial environment shaped by inflation, interest rate shifts, and ongoing tax policy discussions, some investors question whether the 1031 exchange will remain relevant. Despite periodic scrutiny, Reed Haimson notes that it continues to endure because it serves a fundamental economic function: encouraging reinvestment rather than stagnation.
From a macro perspective, it maintains liquidity in real estate markets. From an investor perspective, it enables continuous asset upgrading without frictional tax loss. That combination remains rare in taxation policy.
Its effectiveness, however, depends on investor sophistication. As markets become more competitive, the advantage is no longer simply knowing the 1031 exchange exists, but knowing how to integrate it into a long-term wealth strategy.
Reed Haimson frames this distinction as the difference between participation and positioning. Those who treat it as a technical tax tool achieve limited outcomes. Those who treat it as a portfolio-building mechanism unlock compounding benefits over time.
Ultimately, the 1031 exchange is not about avoiding taxes in the short term. It is about controlling the trajectory of wealth over decades. In that context, it remains one of the most powerful yet underutilized tools in real estate investing today.

Vincere Trading Relaunches to Deliver Hedge Fund-Grade Algorithms to Individual Investors Using Cash Accounts
-
Audited multi-year performance and institutional futures systems aim to redefine retail access to algorithmic trading strategies
Illinois, USA, 27th April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Vincere Trading, a fintech company founded to bridge the gap between institutional investment systems and retail accessibility, has officially announced its relaunch. Originally launched last year, the company is entering a new phase of growth with a renewed mission focused on enabling individual investors to access hedge fund-grade algorithmic trading strategies using cash account capital.
The relaunch reflects a broader evolution in how the company positions itself within the growing landscape of automated trading. As financial markets continue to shift toward data-driven execution and systematic decision-making, Vincere Trading is emphasizing infrastructure that supports scalability, discipline, and long-term consistency for retail participants.
Co-founded by partner Alex Cecola, the firm was built on the belief that institutional trading systems should not remain exclusive to hedge funds and large financial institutions. Instead, these strategies can be re-engineered into structured, accessible frameworks that allow individual traders to participate in similar models of execution and risk management.
Relaunch and Strategic Vision
The relaunch of Vincere Trading marks a deliberate expansion of both its technology and its long-term mission. While the company initially launched last year as a fintech startup, its renewed direction focuses on scaling access to automated trading systems designed for real-world application across retail and prop firm environments.
At its core, the company’s vision is centered on democratizing access to institutional-style trading methodologies. Rather than relying on discretionary trading or simplified retail tools, Vincere Trading focuses on building structured algorithmic systems that operate with predefined logic and disciplined execution frameworks.
This strategic shift is driven by the increasing demand for automation in financial markets. As traders seek more efficient and less emotionally driven approaches, Vincere Trading is positioning itself as a bridge between professional quantitative finance and individual participation.
Institutional-Grade Algorithmic Framework
Vincere Trading’s platform is built around a diversified suite of futures trading algorithms developed using institutional design principles. These systems are structured, rules-based, and engineered to perform across a wide range of market conditions, including both high volatility and low momentum environments.
The firm’s approach is rooted in diversification at the strategy level. Rather than relying on a single model, the system operates as a portfolio of uncorrelated algorithms, each designed with different entry logic and behavioral responses to market movement. This structure is intended to reduce concentration risk while improving long-term stability.
Risk management is a foundational component of the framework. Each algorithm operates within predefined parameters that govern exposure, drawdown control, and capital allocation. The goal is not only performance generation but also preservation of capital across varying market cycles.
By incorporating principles commonly used in hedge fund environments, Vincere Trading seeks to replicate institutional rigor in a format that is accessible to non-institutional participants.
Audited Performance and Long-Term Consistency
A key component of the relaunch announcement is the audited performance history of Vincere Trading’s algorithmic suite. Over the past six years, the company’s strategies have demonstrated nearly 50 percent average annual growth, based on internal tracking and audit review of system performance.
This track record reflects a long-term development process that prioritizes consistency over short-term optimization. The algorithms have undergone continuous refinement, including adjustments to volatility conditions, execution efficiency, and adaptive market behavior.
Rather than relying on isolated performance periods, Vincere Trading emphasizes sustained multi-cycle results. The company highlights that its systems have been designed to function across changing macro environments, ensuring that strategies are not dependent on a single market regime.
The audit serves as a validation of both methodology and execution discipline. It reinforces the company’s commitment to data-driven development and systematic validation rather than discretionary assumptions.
Expanding Access Through Cash Accounts and Prop Firm Integration
One of the defining elements of Vincere Trading’s model is its focus on accessibility through cash-based trading accounts and prop firm structures. This dual-access approach allows traders to engage with institutional-grade systems without requiring large upfront capital commitments.
Through prop firm integration, users can access significantly larger pools of capital while maintaining limited personal financial exposure. This structure enables traders to scale positions and potential returns while operating within controlled risk environments.
The company’s system is designed to function efficiently across multiple accounts, allowing for capital scaling and portfolio diversification. By automating execution and removing manual decision-making, Vincere Trading aims to create a largely hands-free trading experience.
The emphasis on accessibility is central to the company’s broader mission. By lowering structural barriers, Vincere Trading is attempting to expand participation in systematic trading while maintaining the discipline and rigor associated with institutional frameworks.
As the company continues its relaunch phase, it plans to further develop its algorithmic suite, enhance execution infrastructure, and expand educational resources to support user understanding of quantitative trading principles.
Vincere Trading’s long-term objective is to establish a scalable ecosystem where individual investors can operate using systems traditionally reserved for hedge funds. Through automation, diversification, and institutional methodology, the company is positioning itself as a key participant in the evolution of modern algorithmic trading.
