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?

Brandon Gilkey Advocates for Youth Mentorship and Financial Education Amid Growing Economic Uncertainty

  • Real Estate Leader Highlights the Power of Guidance, Adaptability, and Long-Term Thinking for the Next Generation

Arizona, US, 11th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, As economic uncertainty, rising housing costs, and limited financial education continue to challenge young Americans, real estate entrepreneur Brandon Gilkey is using his voice to advocate for increased youth mentorship and practical financial literacy—especially for students navigating life beyond athletics and traditional career paths.

Gilkey, who transitioned from a sports-driven upbringing in Edmond, Oklahoma, to building over $8 million in real estate holdings, credits mentorship, adaptability, and long-term thinking as the foundation of his success.

“Growing up in sports taught me teamwork, dedication, and resilience,” Gilkey says. “But stepping away from the path I thought I was supposed to take forced me to grow in ways I never expected.”

A Timely Issue Backed by Data

According to recent national studies:

  • Over 60% of young adults report feeling unprepared to make major financial decisions

  • Nearly 70% of high school students receive no formal financial education

  • First-time homebuyer ages have climbed to record highs, largely due to lack of financial preparedness and rising costs

Gilkey believes mentorship can bridge that gap.

“Working with students showed me how powerful guidance can be,” he explains. “When young people have someone helping them see beyond what’s in front of them, it changes their trajectory.”

From Mentorship to Market Success

After graduating from Abilene Christian University in 2003, Gilkey spent years mentoring students through church-based programs before relocating to Phoenix with his wife. That move marked a turning point—one that led him into real estate, where he found a way to combine strategy, service, and long-term impact.

“Real estate isn’t just about transactions,” Gilkey says. “It’s about helping people build stability, confidence, and a future they can believe in.”

His success underscores a broader message: skills learned through discipline, mentorship, and service are transferable—and powerful—across industries.

Empowering the Next Generation Starts at Home

Rather than calling for policy changes alone, Gilkey emphasizes individual action—parents, mentors, coaches, and professionals taking responsibility to guide young people where systems fall short.

“You don’t need to be an expert to make a difference,” he says. “You just need to be willing to share your experience, listen, and help someone think long-term.”

What Individuals Can Do Now

  • Start conversations with young people about money, careers, and long-term planning

  • Encourage exploration beyond one-dimensional career paths

  • Support mentorship programs in schools, churches, and local communities

  • Share real-world lessons—not just success stories, but challenges too

“When we invest time in people early,” Gilkey adds, “we don’t just change individual lives—we strengthen entire communities.”

As economic pressures continue to rise, voices like Brandon Gilkey’s highlight a powerful truth: mentorship and education remain some of the most effective tools for long-term success—both financially and personally.

Vickie DeHart Shares a Practical Message for Busy, Overloaded Days

Published

February 11, 2026

By

  • Vickie DeHart of Las Vegas writes to everyday people navigating pressure, overload, and unclear days.

Las Vegas, NV, 11th February 2026, ZEXPRWIRE, This letter is for people who feel busy but not always effective.
For those juggling work, responsibilities, and expectations while trying to keep things moving forward.

I’ve spent decades in construction and real estate, industries where unclear days turn into costly problems. Over time, I’ve learned that most stress doesn’t come from the size of the work. It comes from a lack of clarity.

“As I’ve learned, structure gives you freedom,” I often say. When days start without direction, everything feels heavier.

Construction taught me that quickly. “There’s no hiding in this industry,” I’ve said before. “Either it works or it doesn’t.” The same is true in daily life. When communication is unclear or tasks stay unfinished, pressure builds fast.

Research backs this up.

  • Nearly 70% of workplace errors are tied to miscommunication or unclear expectations.

  • Writing down daily priorities increases task completion by over 30%.

  • Short daily walks can improve creative problem-solving by up to 60%.

  • People who reflect daily report 20–25% lower stress levels.

But this isn’t about productivity hacks. It’s about living with less friction.

“One of the biggest lessons I learned early on,” I’ve shared, “is that most problems aren’t caused by lack of effort. They’re caused by unclear expectations.” When expectations stay vague, even capable people feel stuck.

I also believe something many people don’t agree with. “Mistakes are underrated,” I’ve said. They’re not the issue. Ignoring them is. Progress comes from noticing what isn’t working and adjusting calmly.

Another lesson that still guides me: “You learn more by walking a site than reading ten reports.” Being present—physically and mentally—changes how problems appear. Distance often makes things feel bigger than they are.

And finally, this one matters most: “I don’t believe in pressure-led leadership. I believe in clarity.” Pressure creates urgency. Clarity creates momentum.

What You Can Do This Week

You don’t need new tools or a major life change. Try one or two of these.

  1. Write down three priorities each morning. No more.

  2. Take a 10-minute walk without your phone. Think through one open issue.

  3. Finish one small task you’ve been carrying for days.

  4. Clarify expectations in one conversation instead of assuming.

  5. Remove one unnecessary step from a routine process.

  6. Have one distraction-free conversation.

  7. End one day by noting what actually worked.

  8. Ask, “What’s unclear here?” before reacting.

  9. Step outside when you feel overwhelmed.

  10. Choose progress over perfection—just for today.

None of these are dramatic. That’s the point.

“Big ideas only work if they’re grounded in execution,” I’ve said before. And execution begins with small, repeatable habits that make life easier, not louder.

A Simple Invitation

Choose one action from this list.
Commit to it for 7 days.
Notice what feels lighter.

If this letter helped you, share it with someone who feels overwhelmed, busy, or stuck. Sometimes clarity spreads simply by passing it on.
