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?

Tapes To Digital Provides VHS, Camcorder and Audio Cassette Conversion Services Across the UK
Tapes To Digital, a UK-based tape conversion service, provides digital transfer for VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, Video8, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, audio cassette and other legacy media formats. The company has completed conversions for more than 100,000 customers across the UK and Australia, with drop-off locations across Greater London, the South East, East of England, West Yorkshire and the West Midlands.
United Kingdom, 13th May 2026 – Tapes To Digital, a UK-based tape conversion service, offers digital transfer services for a wide range of legacy tape formats across the country. The company provides conversion for VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, Video8, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, MicroMV, U-Matic, Betacam and audio cassette tapes, alongside other media formats including vinyl records, reel-to-reel tapes, MiniDisc and DAT.
Magnetic tape, which has been a common format for home recordings since the 1970s, has a typical recommended storage lifespan of 20 to 30 years according to archival guidelines.

Tapes To Digital provides households and organisations with a route to transfer the contents of older media into modern digital formats.
Playback equipment for older tape formats has also become harder to source in recent years. Production of new VHS recorders ended in 2016, and machines for formats such as Betamax, Video8 and MiniDV are increasingly available only through specialist suppliers.
“We work with customers across the UK who want to access old family videos, audio recordings and archive footage on modern devices,” said a spokesperson for Tapes To Digital. “Digital conversion provides a way to view, share and store content from formats that would otherwise require equipment that is no longer widely available.”
Tapes To Digital has completed conversions for more than 100,000 customers across the UK and Australia, processing over 10 million items of media to date. Customers receive their original tapes back alongside digital copies supplied on USB, DVD or via cloud storage.

All work is carried out in-house in the UK, with no tapes sent overseas. Drop-off locations are available across Greater London, the South East, East of England, West Yorkshire and the West Midlands. The company offers VHS to digital conversion and other tape transfer services with pricing from £15 per tape, with reduced rates available for larger volumes.

The business has accumulated more than 1,300 five-star customer reviews over its 25 years of operation. According to company data, more than 70 percent of annual revenue is generated from repeat customers. Women hold 80 percent of leadership positions, and members of the leadership team report tenures ranging from 8 to 25 years with the company.
Company Background
Founder and CEO Guy Dawson established Payless Promotions 25 years ago to serve organisations managing uniforms and merchandise across multiple sites. The company identified a market need among clients running multi-site uniform and merchandise programs, particularly the administration involved in approval workflows, order reconciliation, and consistency across locations.
“Our clients needed systems to reduce administration time and improve consistency across locations,” said Dawson. “That is what we set out to build over the past 25 years.”
The company invested in custom-built technology rather than off-the-shelf software, developing e-client portals, approval workflows, automated reporting tools, and API integrations for client use. According to company reports, clients using these systems have reduced internal uniform and merchandise administration time by up to 70 percent.
Client Sectors
Payless Promotions reports a client base that includes government departments, healthcare networks, ASX-listed enterprises, Aboriginal community organisations, education providers, and childcare operators. The company states that the majority of its revenue is generated from clients with multi-site procurement requirements where consistency and reporting are operational priorities.
Team and Leadership Tenure
The Payless Promotions leadership team consists of staff who have been with the company for periods ranging from 8 to 25 years. Women hold 80 percent of leadership positions across the business. The company reports that long staff tenure has supported continuity in client account management, with clients working with the same account contacts over multiple years.
Operations and Supply Chain
Payless Promotions operates direct supplier partnerships across Australia and China. The company maintains market-rate tracking processes to monitor pricing across its product catalogue and reports that this supply chain structure supports its lead time and pricing positions.
The product range includes promotional merchandise, custom workwear, hi-vis safety clothing, corporate and sports uniforms, school and healthcare uniforms, Year 12 jerseys, corporate gifts, and an eco-friendly and sustainable merchandise range. The full catalogue is available at paylesspromotions.com.au.
Compliance
The company maintains a Modern Slavery Policy and conducts supplier assessments that meet enterprise compliance requirements. It also provides carbon reporting for clients with net-zero reporting requirements.
Outlook
“We continue to invest in digital reach, platform development, and product range as we enter the next phase of operation,” said Dawson.

Bry-Air MiniPAC stainless models MP-100, MP-350, MP-600, and MP-1200 are now available to order on a 5-week lead time for facilities operating under FDA 21 CFR Part 117, USP <800>, and ISO 14644.
United States, 13th May 2026 — US Cleaning Tools today expanded its stock of Bry-Air’s stainless steel MiniPAC desiccant dehumidifiers. The move follows growing orders from FDA-regulated food plants, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and ISO-classified cleanrooms.
The stainless MiniPAC range covers four capacities: MP-100, MP-350, MP-600, and MP-1200. Each unit uses Bry-Air’s silica-gel rotor to pull air down below 1% relative humidity. Refrigerant dehumidifiers cannot get there. The 304-grade stainless construction is built for daily wash-down and clean-in-place cycles, which is what FDA 21 CFR Part 117 and USP <800> environments actually require.
“Food and pharma operators keep hitting the same wall with refrigerant dehumidifiers. They bottom out around 35% RH,”
said Krenar Jaha, founder of US Cleaning Tools.
“Below that, in a stainless wash-down environment, you have to go desiccant. Bry-Air built this line for exactly that situation, and we’ve seen orders climb noticeably since FDA enforcement tightened in 2024.”
Humidity control is one of the most common cGMP audit findings in pharmaceutical manufacturing, according to compliance reviews published by FDA inspectors. Excess moisture degrades active pharmaceutical ingredients, encourages microbial growth in spray-drying operations, and changes tablet hardness mid-batch. A single rejected batch can cost a manufacturer over $100,000.
Capacities run from 100 CFM up to 1,200 CFM. The smaller units fit dispensary cleanrooms and confectionery dry-rooms; the larger ones handle pharmaceutical lyophilization suites and lithium-ion battery dry rooms. Every unit ships with integrated PLC controls and an option for digital data logging where FDA audit trails are required. Stainless MiniPAC orders carry a 5-week build lead time; standard galvanized models ship within a week.
US Cleaning Tools is an authorized Bry-Air dealer. The team handles sizing, install guidance, and post-sale service across Bry-Air’s full industrial dehumidifier range.
About US Cleaning Tools
US Cleaning Tools (uscleaningtools.com) is a US commercial supplier of cleaning, restoration, and environmental control equipment based in Issaquah, Washington. The company stocks more than 700 products across 30 brands, including Bry-Air, Therma-Kleen, Tornado, and Nacecare. Customers include food and pharmaceutical manufacturers, restoration contractors, hospitality groups, and healthcare facilities. Standard catalog items ship within a week; engineered industrial systems carry standard manufacturer lead times.
