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?

Solli Rothschild Analyzes Strategic Obstacles in Scaling Advisory Platforms Across Global Markets
Norway, 9th Apr 2026 – As global markets become increasingly interconnected and structured, the process of building new advisory-driven initiatives is evolving beyond traditional competitive dynamics.
According to Solli Rothschild, an international founder and strategist specializing in cross-border advisory and market positioning, emerging platforms today must navigate a complex intersection of perception, credibility, and institutional frameworks.
“In structured industries, execution alone is no longer the defining factor,” said Solli Rothschild. “How a project is perceived — often at an early stage — can significantly influence how it is evaluated and how it develops over time.”
Solli Rothschild’s work focuses on understanding how capital, positioning, and narrative interact across global markets, particularly in sectors where legacy institutions and new initiatives coexist.
“In many cases, founders are not only building businesses — they are navigating established systems where perception and positioning can shape outcomes as much as underlying activity,” she explained.
This dynamic is becoming increasingly relevant in environments connected to advisory, real estate, and cross-border strategy, where clarity and structure are essential for long-term positioning.
“Understanding the balance between market dynamics, regulatory considerations, and brand positioning is becoming a key capability,” Solli Rothschild added. “This is especially true for founders operating across jurisdictions, where expectations and frameworks differ significantly.”
Her perspective reflects a broader shift in global markets, where capital and strategy are increasingly aligned with long-term positioning rather than short-term opportunity.
As international founders continue to expand across regions, the ability to manage perception, credibility, and strategic positioning is expected to play an increasingly central role in sustainable growth.

Makers of Bari Liquid Force Launch Free Bariatric App That Instantly Scores Any Grocery Product for Post-Surgery Suitability
Bariatric Shopper’s Companion — powered by the Bariscan barcode engine — gives gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, lap band, and SADI patients an instant suitability score, dumping syndrome risk rating, and healthier swap suggestions for any packaged food, completely free of charge.
United States, 9th Apr 2026 – Universal Body Labs, the family-owned company behind Bari Liquid Force — one of the most trusted bariatric multivitamins in the United States — today announced the launch of Bariatric Shopper’s Companion, a free mobile application that allows bariatric surgery patients to scan the UPC barcode of any packaged food and receive an instant Bariatric Suitability Score (0–100), a dumping syndrome risk rating, and 3–5 healthier bariatric-friendly swap suggestions in seconds.
The app is available now as a free download on the Google Play Store, with an Apple App Store version currently in development and expected soon. The app’s companion website is live at https://bariatricapp.com.
A Real Problem That Needed a Real Solution
More than 200,000 bariatric surgeries are performed annually in the United States, and research published in the National Institutes of Health estimates that 40% to 76% of bariatric surgery patients will experience dumping syndrome at some point after their procedure. For gastric bypass patients specifically, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) reports that figure can reach as high as 85%.
Despite the enormous and growing post-operative bariatric population, no widely available consumer tool existed to help patients evaluate individual food products against the specific nutritional priorities that follow weight loss surgery — until now.
“Grocery shopping after bariatric surgery is one of the most stressful parts of post-op life, and it doesn’t get talked about enough,” said the development team at Universal Body Labs. “Patients are staring at walls of protein bars, yogurts, and snack foods, trying to do complex label math in the aisle while they’re tired, rushed, or hungry. We built this app to turn that anxiety into a single, clear number — plus a simple explanation of why.”
How Bariatric Shopper’s Companion Works
The app uses the phone’s camera to scan the UPC barcode of any packaged food item — in the grocery store or at home. The proprietary Bariscan scoring engine then analyzes the product across six bariatric-specific nutrition factors, weighted by clinical importance for post-surgical patients:
- Sugar (25%) — Flags added sugar, hidden sugars, and high-fructose corn syrup
- Protein (25%) — Prioritizes higher-protein choices critical for healing and muscle retention
- Fat / Dumping Risk (20%) — Highlights high-fat content and known dumping triggers
- Fiber (10%) — Evaluates fiber content for steadier post-surgical digestion
- Ingredient Quality (10%) — Identifies sugar alcohols, hydrogenated oils, and other watch-out ingredients
- Calorie Density (10%) — Favors nutrient-dense options where every bite counts
The result is a single Bariatric Suitability Score from 0 to 100, accompanied by a clear explanation of what helped and what hurt the score, a dumping syndrome risk flag (Low, Medium, or High), and a “Swap” button that instantly displays 3–5 better alternatives in the same food category.
The Dumping Score: A Feature Patients Have Been Asking For
One of the app’s most distinctive features is its dumping score — a risk assessment that evaluates how likely a specific food product is to trigger dumping syndrome. Dumping syndrome occurs when food, especially food high in sugar or fat, moves too rapidly from the stomach to the small intestine, causing nausea, cramping, diarrhea, dizziness, and sweating.
The dumping score analyzes sugar content, fat levels, and specific ingredients known to be common dumping triggers, then presents the risk as a simple Low, Medium, or High rating. This feature is especially valuable for gastric bypass, SADI, and revision surgery patients, who are at the highest risk.
Built for All Major Bariatric Surgery Types
Bariatric Shopper’s Companion is designed to serve patients who have undergone any of the four major bariatric procedure types:
- Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y / RNY)
- Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy / VSG)
- Lap-Band (Adjustable Gastric Banding)
- SADI (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass)
Key Features at Launch
Bariatric Shopper’s Companion launches with a robust feature set that includes instant barcode scanning with sub-second results, the six-factor Bariatric Suitability Scoring system, dumping syndrome risk flagging for every scanned product, the smart swap feature for finding better alternatives, a curated library of 20+ Featured Essentials for common bariatric staples, persistent scan history and favorites so patients can build and save their personal safe-foods list, and full offline functionality after the initial load — a critical feature for grocery stores with weak cell signal.
The app is completely free with no subscriptions, no premium tiers, and no in-app purchases.
