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?

STARTRADER Adds 20 Stock and ETF CFDs to Its 24/7 Trading Range

Published

on

October 6, 2026

By

Port Louis, Mauritius, October 6th, 2026, FinanceWire

Available from October 6, 2026, the 12 stocks and 8 ETFs extend STARTRADER’s round-the-clock access across South Korea, Hong Kong and the US.

STARTRADER has launched 20 new Stock and ETF CFDs on its MT5 servers, tradable Monday to Sunday from 00:00 to 24:00 (GMT+3 platform time). The launch focuses on the companies supplying the physical infrastructure behind AI, and half of the 20 are listed in Seoul or Hong Kong, where sessions close before US markets open. Extended trading hours may allow clients to access these CFD products outside the regular trading hours of the underlying exchanges, subject to applicable trading conditions. 

Seven additions provide exposure to companies and products associated with the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DRAM supply chain, including Samsung Electro-Mechanics (SAMSUNGEMUSD) and Hanmi Semiconductor (HANMIUSD), together with five products offering 2x leveraged exposure, including long and short exposure to SK hynix (SKUUUSD, CSOPSKHYNIX2LUSD, SKDDUSD), and long exposure on Samsung Electronics (CSOPSAMSUNG2LUSD) and exposure to the DRAM sector (RAMUSD).

Five additions provide exposure to companies and an ETF associated with areas of AI data-centre infrastructure, including Zhongji Innolight (ZHONGJIUSD), which completed a US$6.8 billion Hong Kong listing in July, the Roundhill Photonics & Optics ETF (LYTEUSD), Vistra (VSTUSD) in power generation, Cloudflare (NETUSD) in edge computing and LG Electronics (LGELECTRONICSUSD) in liquid cooling.

The remaining eight additions are Naver (NAVERUSD), the KODEX 200 ETF (KODEX200USD), Kuaishou (KUAISHOUUSD), Meituan (MEITUANUSD), the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDXUSD), Moderna (MRNAUSD), Trump Media & Technology Group (DJTUSD) and Shopify (SHOPUSD).

“Interest in AI has moved down the stack, from the companies that design chips to the ones that supply their memory, optics, power and cooling. This launch follows it there, with a deliberate focus on Asia, where many of those companies are listed.” – Peter Karsten, CEO, STARTRADER

The launch follows the 49-symbol expansion announced in September and adds further instruments from Asian equity markets to STARTRADER’s trading offering. Further additions may be considered based on market developments, product availability and applicable trading conditions. 

Risk Warning: CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Leveraged and inverse ETFs generally seek to provide amplified or inverse daily performance relative to their stated benchmark and may produce materially different results over longer holding periods. Trading outside home-market hours may involve wider spreads and lower liquidity. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Disclaimer: This information is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice or a recommendation to trade. Product availability, trading hours, leverage and applicable conditions may vary by jurisdiction and account type. CFDs involve a high risk of loss, and clients should consider whether trading is appropriate for their circumstances.

HIVE-X Introduces Blockchain Infrastructure for Digital Asset Management and Real-World Integration

Published

on

October 6, 2026

By

Philippines, 6th Oct 2026 – HIVE-X has announced the development of its digital asset infrastructure built on the BNB Smart Chain, designed to connect blockchain-based technology with digital wallets and real-world payment systems.

Rather than focusing on speculative trading, HIVE-X aims to build a practical technology ecosystem where its utility token, HVX, powers asset management, digital wallet services, and integrated payment solutions.

The core objective of HIVE-X is to bridge the gap between decentralized asset protocols and everyday digital transactions through a unified framework combining the HIVE Wallet and payment card API infrastructure.

Advancing Blockchain Beyond Storage and Transfer

HIVE-X is engineered around the principle that digital assets must evolve beyond simple storage and peer-to-peer transfers to support practical everyday utilities.

The HIVE-X architecture integrates several core components:

  • HIVE Wallet Integration: Serving as the central gateway for digital asset management.
  • Payment Infrastructure: Connecting supported digital assets with online and point-of-sale systems.
  • Asset Management Solutions: Providing real-time portfolio analytics and secure transfers.
  • Ecosystem Expansion: Partnering with international service providers to broaden utility.

Through this structured approach, HIVE-X establishes a secure environment for users to manage digital assets while expanding real-world transaction capabilities.

Integrated Digital Payment Solutions

A central component of the HIVE-X ecosystem is its planned crypto card integration. The underlying infrastructure connects user-managed digital assets with standard payment environments, enabling supported digital assets to be processed for physical and online merchants.

The payment system pilot currently supports USDT-based transactions, with real-world payment processing tests successfully completed. Technical development is currently underway to fully integrate HVX into the card funding and payment processing network.

Specific operational parameters, including supported jurisdictions, transaction limits, and partner arrangements, will be released as compliance and technical integrations are finalized.

HIVE Wallet: The Ecosystem Gateway

HIVE-X is actively developing HIVE Wallet, a dedicated application designed to serve as the main interface for the entire ecosystem.

The wallet will support BNB Smart Chain-based asset management, secure token transfers, portfolio tracking, and integration with payment card services. Planned features include market price tracking, transaction history logs, and support for multi-chain digital assets in subsequent development phases.

The long-term objective is to provide a single, unified interface where users can seamlessly manage digital assets and interact with global payment services.

Technical Architecture and Phased Roadmap

HVX operates on the BNB Smart Chain under the BEP-20 standard with a fixed total supply of 100 billion tokens, designed to maintain ecosystem stability.

HIVE-X is pursuing a structured, phased roadmap:

  1. Infrastructure Establishment: Initial deployment of HVX on the BNB Smart Chain.
  2. Platform Development: Launch of HIVE Wallet and expansion of international partner networks.
  3. API Integration: Connecting payment card infrastructure with wallet services for broader adoption.

By combining dedicated software, payment card APIs, and a scalable network architecture, HIVE-X continues to develop solutions that connect digital assets with modern financial technologies.
