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

Published

6 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?

Press Release

Break Into Tech Announces Expansion into the US Graduate Technology Sales Market

Published

4 hours ago

on

November 2, 2026

By

London, United Kingdom, November 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

Break Into Tech, a UK-based graduate training and placement company, has announced its expansion into the United States, extending its tech sales training and placement programme to graduates in the US.

The expansion marks the next stage of the company’s development, bringing its industry-focused training, mentoring and employer partnership model to a wider graduate market while continuing its work with employers and candidates in the UK.

The announcement comes as the UK faces significant challenges in graduate employment, with recruitment opportunities declining across several sectors.

According to High Fliers Research, which has tracked Britain’s leading graduate employers for over 30 years, graduate recruitment has fallen 24.5% since 2022. That is a steeper decline than during both the Covid pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. The Financial Times reported that graduate positions fell a further 33% in 2025 alone, to the lowest level since 2018. Job search platform Adzuna also found that by July 2026, graduate-level vacancies had declined 45% year-on-year, dropping to 8,383.

Official ONS data shows that over one million 16-to-24-year-olds are classified as NEET (not in education, employment or training), the highest figure in over a decade. Youth unemployment for 18-to-24-year-olds has risen to 14.5%. The Guardian reported that more than one in four young people say they have already avoided job applications because they fear AI will replace those roles.

Company Background

Break Into Tech was founded by husband-and-wife team Milan Gool and Lara Gool. Milan, a current Stability AI employee and former Google employee, spent seven years in the tech industry, where he identified a gap between companies seeking sales talent and graduates seeking employment.

“I co-founded an AI company through Antler, the accelerator programme that has produced unicorns here in the UK,” Milan explains. “When we started hiring, I felt the pressure of finding young talent first-hand. Graduates had degrees but no commercial skills. Companies had roles but no pipeline. There was no real solution before Break Into Tech.”

Lara, a former corporate lawyer turned COO, saw the same gap from the operational side. Together they built a training and placement programme for graduates with no tech experience. The company reports that participants typically secure tech sales roles within 37 days.

Graduate Placements and Company Growth

Break Into Tech reports that, in under two years, it has placed over 629 graduates into tech sales roles, generating more than £4.6 million in combined student salaries. The company holds a 4.7-star Trustpilot rating and has built hiring partnerships with over 200 companies, including TikTok, Google, Amazon, Salesforce, HubSpot, PayPal, Stripe and AlphaSense.

The company grew almost entirely through organic content, amassing over 400,000 followers across social media in one year. Break Into Tech has also earned endorsement from the Institute of Sales Professionals (ISP), the UK’s chartered body for sales excellence, giving graduates an industry-recognised certification.

Programme Participant Experience

Georgia Young, a former hairdresser earning £18,000 a year, joined the accelerator programme and secured a six-figure tech sales role. She subsequently joined the Break Into Tech team to support the company’s mission of helping one million graduates around the world break into tech. In eight months, she has amassed over 200,000 followers on social media.

Tech Sales Training and Employment Opportunities

Break Into Tech’s programme focuses on preparing graduates for technology sales roles through practical training and employer connections. According to the company, typical starting salaries for tech sales development representatives range from £40,000 to £55,000, with potential on-target earnings exceeding £100,000 within one to two years.

The programme combines a proprietary in-house AI platform, daily one-to-one mentoring from experts working in the tech industry, and access to proprietary interview data from thousands of hiring partners.

United States Expansion

The company’s expansion into the United States extends its training and placement model to the country’s graduate technology sales market. The move comes as artificial intelligence continues to influence recruitment and workplace requirements.

The UK government’s AI Labour Market Survey 2025 found that only 13% of graduate schemes include AI training, highlighting a gap in the preparation of graduates for workplaces increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.

“The graduate job market is not broken,” says Milan. “It has shifted. The opportunities are there. They have just moved. Our job is to show people where they have moved to, and get them there as fast as possible.”

Through its expansion, Break Into Tech intends to extend its training and placement model to a wider graduate market while continuing its work with employers and candidates in the UK.

About Break Into Tech

Break Into Tech is a UK-based graduate training and placement company founded by Milan Gool and Lara Gool. The company helps graduates with no prior tech experience prepare for careers in technology sales through industry-focused training, one-to-one mentoring, an in-house AI platform and employer partnerships. Its mission is to help one million graduates around the world break into tech.

Mountain View, California, November 2nd, 2026, FinanceWire

Through Tango for Good, the global live-streaming platform contributed tens of thousands of dollars to a cultural initiative promoting peace and unity, reinforcing its commitment to communities where it operates.

Tango, a global social live-streaming platform connecting creators and audiences worldwide, has donated tens of thousands of dollars to support a peace initiative in Cyprus, reinforcing its commitment to contributing to communities in countries where it operates.

The contribution supported the International Peace Concert, a cultural event initiated by the American Medical Center in Cyprus that brought together musicians and audiences around a shared message of peace, unity, and human connection.

The donation is part of Tango for Good, the company’s social impact initiative focused on supporting charitable causes, local organizations, and community projects, particularly in countries where Tango maintains an operational presence.

Supporting a Message of Peace from Cyprus

Held in Cyprus earlier this year, the International Peace Concert brought together more than 150 musicians from across Europe for a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, including the iconic Ode to Joy.

Tango joined the initiative as a supporting partner, contributing financially to help bring the event to life.

In a letter of appreciation, Dr. Marinos Soteriou, Founder and Director of the American Medical Center, thanked Tango for its significant contribution and commitment to an initiative that originated in Cyprus and aimed to bring people together through music.

Tango for Good: Giving Back Where We Operate

For Tango, supporting the initiative reflects a broader philosophy: companies should be active participants in the communities where they operate.

While Tango connects millions of people through live-streaming experiences, Tango for Good extends that commitment through charitable contributions, partnerships, and community-focused initiatives.

With an established operational presence in Cyprus, Tango sees supporting local organizations and meaningful initiatives as part of its responsibility toward the communities around it.

“Cyprus is an important part of our operations,” said Dor Isseroff, Chief Operating Officer at Tango. “We’re proud to support an initiative that brings people together around a message of peace. Connection is at the heart of what we do, and music has a unique ability to create that connection across cultures and borders. Through Tango for Good, we want to support initiatives that make a positive difference in the communities we’re part of.”

About Tango

Tango is a leading social live-streaming platform built around real-time human connection. Through live conversations, shared experiences, and creator-led communities, Tango brings people from around the world together to interact, discover new personalities, and form meaningful connections. With a global community of more than 500 million registered users, Tango makes online interaction feel more immediate, personal, and human.

Through Tango for Good, the company supports charitable causes, connects with local communities, and impacts social initiatives in the countries where it operates.
