The New America Created by Miles Yu: Burning Anti-Asian Hate

Published

5 years ago

on

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?

By

Kazakhstan, 8th Sep 2026 – Sergey Baburov and the team behind the Coffee Navigator analytics platform plan to attend TriestEspresso Expo 2026, which will take place in Trieste, Italy, on October 21–23. The team will focus on the development of private-label coffee production and its impact on local market structures.

Sergey Baburov and the Coffee Navigator team

TriestEspresso Expo is an international B2B trade show dedicated to espresso and the coffee industry. Exhibitors include green coffee suppliers, roasting companies, equipment manufacturers, packaging providers, and service companies.

In 2026, the organizers will introduce private label as a dedicated area for the first time under the name Custom Coffee Industry. The section is designed to bring manufacturers together with buyers from retail, hospitality and foodservice, distribution, and e-commerce.

For Coffee Navigator, this segment is of particular interest as an indicator of market development. The team plans to examine contract manufacturing models, minimum order quantities, opportunities for custom recipe development and packaging, as well as differences in requirements across retail, HoReCa, and e-commerce channels.

The main objectives of the visit are to:

  • study cooperation models between brand owners and contract manufacturers;
  • compare product and packaging requirements across different sales channels;
  • assess how contract manufacturing can make it easier to launch new coffee brands;
  • collect data for further analysis of local coffee markets.

“Private label is often seen simply as another product category. What interests us more is what sits behind it: how easy it is for a company to launch a new product, how much of the process is handled by the manufacturer, and what different sales channels expect from suppliers. These details can reveal a great deal about how a market is structured and how developed it is,” says Sergey Baburov, founder of Coffee Navigator.

The team plans to compare the data collected at the exhibition with the indicators Coffee Navigator already uses to assess local markets. Following the visit, the company will prepare an analytical summary on the development of private label in the coffee industry and its potential impact on the emergence of new brands and the level of market competition.

BMC Advances Prime Growth Strategy PGS in Nigeria Under Babajide David Awolowo

Published

September 8, 2026

By

Blue Meridian Capital (BMC) is advancing the Prime Growth Strategy (PGS) framework in Nigeria, with the initiative entering its live-market execution phase on 8 September. Led by Babajide David Awolowo, the framework focuses on high-frequency quantitative trading, direct market access and disciplined intraday execution as part of a broader approach to structured capital-market participation.

Nigeria, 8th Sep 2026 – As global investors continue to assess opportunities across emerging African markets, attention is increasingly turning towards the role of quantitative infrastructure in improving execution discipline and market participation. In Nigeria, the latest development of the Prime Growth Strategy (PGS) is bringing this discussion into sharper focus.

Led by Babajide David Awolowo, the framework entered its live-market execution phase on 8 September. Its underlying approach combines high-frequency quantitative trading models with DMA-based execution, using predefined rules and data-driven processes rather than relying primarily on discretionary market judgement. 

At the centre of the framework is the analysis of short-term pricing movements and order-book conditions. The system is designed to process market data at high speed, analyse short-term pricing conditions and support execution decisions within predefined parameters. Positions are structured around intraday activity, with the framework designed to avoid carrying positions overnight.

This approach reflects a broader shift within institutional trading towards automated execution, where technology, market data and risk parameters play an increasingly important role in determining how capital is deployed.

Structured capital leverage is also incorporated into the PGS framework to support capital efficiency. Rather than treating leverage as a standalone return mechanism, the model combines it with systematic hedging processes, predefined exposure limits and systematic risk controls intended to manage downside exposure during trading activity.

Awolowo’s recent work has focused on the strategic application of institutional quantitative methods to Nigerian market conditions, including how data-driven execution, risk frameworks and market-access technologies may support more structured participation.

The framework also places emphasis on full-depth order-book data and rapid execution capabilities. These tools are intended to help identify short-lived market imbalances that may be difficult to capture through conventional manual trading processes.

According to the project’s underlying approach, the objective is not to depend on directional market forecasts, but to create a more systematic process around data analysis, execution discipline and risk management.

As technology becomes increasingly embedded in capital-market infrastructure, frameworks such as PGS illustrate how quantitative methods may contribute to a more structured form of market participation. The development also reflects growing interest in how established institutional trading concepts can be adapted to the operational characteristics of emerging financial markets.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, September 8th, 2026, FinanceWire

A material that turns your own movement into medicine has just landed a corporate home. PetVivo Holdings (OTCQX: PETV), a veterinary biotech and biomedical device company focused on treating osteoarthritis in dogs and horses, has acquired PiezoBioMembrane (PBM) — a startup built around a biodegradable implant that generates electricity from the everyday force of a joint in motion, and uses that charge to help regrow cartilage from the inside out. The material is the invention of Thanh Nguyen, a professor of mechanical engineering in UConn’s College of Engineering, who founded PBM in 2021 to advance new implementation methods for his work with piezoelectric materials — substances that convert mechanical force into electrical energy. These materials are typically ceramics: hard, brittle, and poorly suited for medical use. But Nguyen’s lab developed new forms that are so , flexible, and biodegradable, breaking down naturally within the body over time. wound healing, The materials have already shown strong potential across a range of medical applications, including tissue regeneration, implanted force sensors, and targeted drug delivery in tumor treatment. How It Works biodegradable ultrasound for In the case of arthritis, Nguyen explains, the piezoelectric materials function as an off-the-shelf product that can be implanted or injected directly into the ailing joint — with no drugs, chemicals, or cells required. The everyday force exerted on the joint generates a small electrical charge, which helps regrow healthy cartilage, mimicking the body’s natural use of electricity to regenerate tissue. “The body can be electrically stimulated to regrow,” Nguyen says. PBM’s materials “act like a battery — an everlasting battery that works whenever there is a force applied, and vanishes safely inside the body over time.” PetVivo’s Vision for the Acquisition PetVivo Holdings CEO John Lai expressed enthusiasm for the merger’s potential to improve the lives of companion animals globally. “PBM has developed a compelling functional biomaterials platform with the potential to support the development of multiple medical device and therapeutic product lines across both human and animal health markets,” Lai said in a press release. “By combining PBM’s scientific innovation with PetVivo’s product development capabilities, commercialization experience, regulatory expertise, and public company infrastructure, we believe we can accelerate theadvancement of technologies that may serve as the foundation for numerous future products and strategic opportunities.” For Nguyen, the deal is a chance to scale technology that could eventually benefit both animals and people. “PetVivo is an animal health company, but they do have a big passion: pushing the technology towards clinical trials for human use,” Nguyen says. “That aligned perfectly with my passion for developing technology that has an impact on human life. That is why I am excited about this merger, which facilitates my passion.” A Track Record of Innovation Nguyen’s research sits at the intersection of medicine, micro/nanotechnology, and biomaterials. His inventions have earned him publications in prominent scientific journals and media coverage from outlets including NPR. Nguyen founded PBM during the COVID-19 pandemic, a er realizing the material he had developed could be used to create an especially effective, biodegradable face mask — one where the mechanical force of breathing generated an electrical charge that provided an extra layer of protection against viruses. PBM is not Nguyen’s only venture in the acquisition pipeline. His other startup, Single-Time Microneedles (STM), is also currently undergoing an acquisition process. STM has pioneered stable, efficient vaccine delivery technology in the form of an adhesive patch. shelfNguyen’s focus on biodegradable materials has translated into a remarkably diverse range of medical applications. He has received five R01 grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) supporting research in cartilage regeneration, bone regeneration, HIV antibody delivery systems, and biodegradable ultrasound technology to boost the effectiveness of chemotherapy for brain cancer. “Whatever we are working on, we want to show that it works very well in vitro and in vivo,” Nguyen says. “Then, when we are at the point of commercialization, we set up a startup or license the technology — or maybe team up with an industry partner.” Thanh Nguyen is a professor of mechanical engineering in UConn’s College of Engineering.
