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?

Press Release
Explora Books to Feature Award-Winning Author Judy Quan at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair
Explora Books will feature award-winning author Judy Quan at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (June 17–21) at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Quan’s two powerful books navigate the complex intersections of faith, trauma, and equality. Her featured titles, Surviving Religious Abuse and The Christian Feminist, offer the global audience a roadmap for spiritual restoration and a bold re-examination of women’s roles within a modern Christian context.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 8th May 2026 – The drive to produce these works stems from Quan’s personal history as a survivor of physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse. Her journey deepened when her daughter Ruth helped her recognize that the experiences she had described had a specific name: religious abuse. Compelled by a deep inner calling to share that journey, she became a leading voice for those whose sincerity has been weaponized by controlling religious organizations.
A retired nurse, paralegal, and hospital chaplain, Judy Quan has been a seasoned, award-winning writer since her middle school years. Her life’s work is defined by the servant leader model of discipleship—a mission focused on pointing others toward the Savior while providing practical tools for emotional and spiritual health. She has spent decades in lay ministry alongside her husband, Jeff Quan, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. Together, they served for ten years in Stephen Ministry, gaining the rigorous training necessary to accompany individuals through life’s greatest challenges with empathy and scriptural wisdom.
In Surviving Religious Abuse, Quan explores the hidden nature of spiritual manipulation that conceals itself behind a veil of sacred authority. This book provides a vulnerable look at Quan’s own escape from an abusive marriage and the indoctrination of a radical sect that claimed exclusive access to heaven. It also integrates clinical insights from Jeff Quan, LPC-S, who draws on his trauma therapy experience to introduce the Power/Control Cycle—a framework for understanding how survivors can reclaim personal agency in the present. Judy’s own recovery chapters guide readers through establishing healthy, God-given boundaries as a pathway from survival to thriving.
Challenging the notion that faith and feminism are opposed, The Christian Feminist presents a reasoned case for gender equality, firmly rooted in the life of Jesus. Quan highlights the better role chosen by Mary, the sister of Lazarus, whom Jesus praised for seeking spiritual teaching over traditional domestic duties. By showcasing biblical leaders such as the judge Deborah and Lydia—a seller of purple and a successful businesswoman who supported the early church and brought her household to faith in Christ—the work calls for a return to the simple gospel, stripped of the traditions of men that have been used to subordinate women.
Quan asserts that true Christianity is based on love and mutual respect, rather than human power struggles or the jockeying for superior positions. She maintains that feminism is not about the hatred of men, but about honoring the equal but different values of all individuals. Her vision promotes a home and church organized around mutual submission, where no class of individuals is endowed with privileged status based solely on anatomy. “There is neither male nor female . . . for you are all one in Christ” (Gal. 3:28, NIV).
Attendees of the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair are invited to visit the Explora Books exhibit to explore these transformative works. Surviving Religious Abuse and The Christian Feminist are available on Amazon.

Press Release
Wyveda I. Philbert’s Great Loop Memoir to Be Featured at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair
Explora Books will feature Wyveda I. Philbert’s nautical memoir, A Young Man’s Dream: An Old Man’s Reality, at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, taking place June 17–21 at the CNCC in Beijing. The memoir appeals through its detailed chronicle of one couple’s journey along America’s Great Loop—a 5,000-mile inland waterway route that winds up the East Coast, across the Erie Canal, through the Great Lakes, and back to Florida via the Gulf of Mexico—while offering insights into adventure, resilience, and partnership.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 8th May 2026 – The Great Loop has long captured the imagination of boaters across North America, and Philbert’s account shows why. Her husband, Joe, was inspired by a 1950s article about a solo sailor who completed the route in a 17-foot outboard cruiser. He had dreamed of making the journey since his teenage years. After retiring, he spent five years preparing their 31-foot Bombay Clipper sailboat, Whoosher, before finally setting out. The only question was whether his wife—who had never been around boats, couldn’t swim, and had no intention of going—would come along.
Told with candor, humor, and a sailor’s eye for detail, the memoir follows the couple’s route along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). They travel from their home dock in Alva, Florida, north through Georgia and South Carolina, past the historic ports of Charleston and Beaufort, into the Chesapeake Bay, across the Erie Canal, and into the Great Lakes before turning south through America’s river system.
Along the way, Philbert captures the unique experience of liveaboard boating. Submarines surface near coastal bases, flamingos crowd island shores, jellyfish drift past at dusk, and porpoises race alongside the bow. Each stop reveals towns rich with history. The book also functions as a practical ICW companion, offering insight for readers planning—or imagining—their own Great Loop journey.
At the heart of the memoir are the relationships formed along the way. An accidental encounter with another couple, Rodger and Dee, at a Florida lock becomes one of the book’s central threads. The two boats travel together up the coast, sharing anchorages, meals, and the daily rhythms of life on the water. Their friendship reflects the close-knit community that emerges among Great Loop sailors—strangers united by a shared journey who quickly become something more like family.
Beyond its sailing content, the book resonates with its central theme: the courage to pursue a lifelong dream despite uncertainty, risk, and inexperience. Philbert’s voice is warm, self-deprecating, and candid—that of a reluctant first mate turned committed traveler. Her growing appreciation for the natural world and the generosity of strangers give the narrative its emotional core.
For readers who have ever dreamed of casting off the lines and following the water wherever it leads, this memoir offers an immersive alternative. Explora Books will showcase the title at its exhibition booth during the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair.
A Young Man’s Dream: An Old Man’s Reality is also available through Amazon and other major retailers.

Press Release
RiVirtual Unveils Digital Platform Combining Real Estate and Financial Technology Services
New ecosystem and Partner Network connect developers, brokers, lenders, and enterprises on one digital backbone — replacing legacy paperwork rituals with real-time, data-driven workflows.
Anaheim, CA, United States, 7th May 2026 — RiVirtual, a next-generation property and finance technology platform, today announced its entry into the United States market with the launch of Rivirtual.com and the RiVirtual Partner Network. The unified PropTech–FinTech ecosystem is designed to replace the slow, fragmented processes that define traditional real estate and lending — turning what the company calls “industry rituals” into intelligent, connected workflows.
U.S. residential real estate is the largest asset class in the country, valued at more than $50 trillion. Yet the industry continues to operate on workflows built decades before cloud, mobile, or AI: closing timelines average 45 days, and transaction data remains fragmented across brokers, lenders, title companies, insurers, and compliance teams. RiVirtual is built to close that gap.
“Real estate and finance are the two largest sectors of the U.S. economy, and also two of the most process-heavy,” said Raj Varma Founder and CEO of RiVirtual. “We built RiVirtual to bridge the gap between property decisions and financial execution — so that discovery, evaluation, financing, execution, and management all happen on a single intelligent rail.”
A Unified Platform for Property and Finance
RiVirtual operates simultaneously as PropTech and FinTech, eliminating the handoff costs that have historically slowed U.S. property transactions. The platform combines:
- PropTech capabilities — property intelligence, transactions, and asset management.
- FinTech capabilities — payments, financing, verification, and compliance.
- Real-time workflow automation — replacing manual checkpoints with intelligent triggers.
- Unified data layer — connecting property, borrower, and compliance data across stakeholders.
The result is a single flow where buyers, sellers, lenders, brokers, and enterprise clients work from the same source of truth — instead of stitching together disconnected systems and email threads.
The RiVirtual Partner Network
Alongside the platform launch, RiVirtual is introducing its Partner Network — a connected ecosystem bringing together real estate developers, brokers, channel partners, financial institutions, service providers, and enterprise clients on a shared digital backbone.
Unlike traditional, linear partnerships, the RiVirtual Partner Network is network-driven: every partner is connected, opportunities surface in real time, and execution is faster, more transparent, and scalable. The model is designed to help U.S. operators adapt to a post-NAR-settlement market, where commission structures, partner economics, and consumer expectations are all being rewritten at the same time.
“Software alone doesn’t transform an industry — networks do,” added Raj Varma “The RiVirtual Partner Network turns a one-to-one transaction model into a many-to-many ecosystem. One platform, many stakeholders, shared upside.”
Why It Matters for the U.S. Market
For U.S. organizations adopting RiVirtual and the Partner Network, the impact lands in metrics that matter to boards and operators alike:
- Faster deal closures and reduced cycle times.
- Lower operational friction across brokers, lenders, and title.
- Higher transparency and stronger compliance posture.
- Scalable, networked partnership growth.
- Better, faster, data-driven decision-making.
In a market where margin compression is real and consumer expectations have been reset by every other digital experience, those gains compound quickly.
Availability
RiVirtual is available to U.S. real estate developers, brokers, lenders, channel partners, and enterprise clients beginning October 2026 Organizations interested in joining the RiVirtual Partner Network can request access at Rivirtual.com.
About RiVirtual
RiVirtual is a unified PropTech–FinTech platform redefining how property and finance work together. Through Rivirtual.com and the RiVirtual Partner Network, the company connects developers, brokers, lenders, service providers, and enterprise clients on a single intelligent ecosystem — replacing legacy paperwork rituals with real-time, data-driven workflows. RiVirtual’s mission is to make property and finance faster, smarter, and more connected for the digital-first economy. Learn more at Rivirtual.com.
