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?

The 7 Most Dangerous Mistakes Businesses Make Before Sending a Damaged QuickBooks File for Repair
Brandon, MB, Aug 12, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — When a QuickBooks file becomes damaged, many business owners try to fix the problem themselves before seeking professional help. Unfortunately, these well-intentioned actions often make recovery more difficult, expensive, and sometimes impossible.
Here are seven of the most common mistakes to avoid.
The Rebuild Data utility can resolve minor issues, but repeatedly running it on a severely damaged file may compound corruption. If Verify Data continues reporting errors after multiple attempts, professional evaluation is usually the safer option.
One of the costliest mistakes is replacing older backups with newer copies of the damaged file. Historical backups often contain intact data that can be critical during a recovery project. Always preserve every available backup until the issue has been resolved.
Businesses frequently provide only the main company file while overlooking associated files, backup copies, or supporting data. Missing components can limit recovery options and increase investigation time. The more complete the data set, the better the chances of a successful repair.
Online forums often promote advanced file-editing techniques that are intended for database specialists. Modifying QuickBooks files at the file-structure level without expertise can permanently damage transaction records and reduce the likelihood of recovery.
Every new transaction entered into a corrupted file increases the risk of further damage. What begins as a minor issue can quickly spread throughout the database, making future repairs significantly more complex.
Many companies believe Dropbox, OneDrive, or hosted backups automatically protect against corruption. In reality, sync platforms often replicate corrupted files across multiple locations, leaving every copy affected by the same problem.
If corruption is being caused by unstable hosting, network interruptions, or unsupported storage systems, the problem may continue spreading even after a repair. Identifying and correcting the root cause is just as important as repairing the file itself.
The sooner a damaged QuickBooks file is addressed, the better the chances of a complete recovery. Preserving backups, avoiding risky repair attempts, and consulting a qualified QuickBooks data recovery specialist can prevent a manageable issue from becoming a major financial and operational disruption.
As forensic QuickBooks recovery experts, we often find that the biggest obstacle to successful repair is not the original corruption itself, but the additional damage caused by well-meaning troubleshooting efforts. Early intervention remains the fastest and most cost-effective path to recovery.

Dallas, TX, USA, August 12th, 2026, FinanceWire
WallStreetPR, a financial news and publishing company, today released a report examining China’s central bank gold purchases and the accompanying expansion of Chinese mining capital into Africa’s gold sector. Read the full report at WallStreetPR
Report Highlights
According to the report:
- The People’s Bank of China added roughly 15 tonnes of gold in June, its largest monthly purchase in nearly three years and its 20th consecutive month of buying — the longest streak since the bank began publishing regular reserve data in 2015.
- The purchase came as spot gold fell more than 11% in June, posting its worst month since the 2008 financial crisis and briefly dropping below $4,000 an ounce for the first time since November, pressured by a stronger dollar and a more hawkish Federal Reserve.
- Western institutional investors pulled back even as China accelerated its buying every month this spring. The report states that analysts link the divergence to a broader push by sovereign buyers to diversify reserves away from the U.S. dollar, though no official policy tying the purchases to a gold-backed currency has been announced.
- Chinese mining companies have moved into African gold production over the past year. Zijin Mining agreed in January to acquire Toronto-listed Allied Gold in a deal worth roughly $4 billion, targeting producing mines in Mali and Côte d’Ivoire along with a development project in Ethiopia. The companies mutually terminated the acquisition agreement on July 29, 2026, after failing to secure Chinese regulatory approval in time; Zijin instead took a 9.2% stake in Allied Gold for roughly $295 million through a private placement.
- A subsidiary of Chinese defense contractor Norinco separately raised its stake in a gold project in Sudan.
- Global exploration spending on discoveries has fallen to its lowest level on record, while spending near existing mines has climbed, according to data cited in the report. Africa was one of the few regions where exploration budgets grew last year.
- The report profiles companies operating in Tanzania’s Geita gold belt, where Chinese capital and Western mining activity increasingly overlap. Barrick Mining (NYSE: B) and AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) both operate major mines in the region. TRX Gold (NYSE: TRX) reported record quarterly production and a 59% margin in its most recent results. Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) has moved personnel and contractors onto its Imwelo project ahead of a targeted construction start this quarter, backed in part by a gold-denominated loan facility.
- Goldman Sachs has trimmed its 2026 gold price forecast but remains above current spot levels, the report noted, citing analysts who described their outlook as structurally constructive despite near-term caution.
About the Report
The full report details the financing, production data and analyst commentary behind the shift, along with a broader look at the companies positioned across Africa’s gold belt as Chinese demand continues.

Brandon, MB, Aug 12, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — For many businesses, a QuickBooks file merge sounds simple: combine two files and keep the data. In reality, professional QuickBooks file merging is one of the most complex data management services available. Whether a company is consolidating multiple business units, cleaning up duplicate records, or combining data after an acquisition, the process requires careful planning to preserve financial accuracy and historical integrity.
A properly executed merge can eliminate inefficiencies, improve reporting, and create a single source of truth without sacrificing valuable accounting history.
QuickBooks file merges are often necessary after mergers and acquisitions, departmental consolidations, system migrations, or years of maintaining separate company files. In other cases, businesses discover they have duplicate customer, vendor, inventory, or employee records that create reporting inconsistencies and operational confusion.
Rather than managing fragmented data across multiple files, organizations often choose to consolidate information into a single, streamlined QuickBooks environment.
One of the most common objectives of a file merge is removing duplicate records while preserving transaction history.
Over time, businesses may accumulate duplicate customers, vendors, products, or accounts due to inconsistent naming conventions or data imports. A professional merge identifies these duplicates and combines them without breaking links to invoices, payments, purchase orders, or historical transactions.
The goal is not simply deleting extra records. Instead, data is carefully mapped and merged so that years of accounting activity remain connected to the correct entity.
A major concern during any consolidation project is maintaining transparency and accountability.
QuickBooks data contains detailed transaction histories that may be required for financial reviews, compliance requirements, tax reporting, or internal audits. A professional merge focuses on retaining historical detail wherever possible while ensuring that merged records continue to support accurate reporting.
Maintaining audit integrity is particularly important for organizations that may need to demonstrate how historical transactions were recorded and managed before and after the consolidation.
Many file merge projects involve combining multiple company files into a unified accounting environment.
This is especially common when businesses acquire other organizations, operate several divisions independently, or have maintained separate QuickBooks files for different locations. Consolidation can simplify reporting, eliminate redundant processes, and provide management with a more complete financial picture.
However, combining company files requires careful reconciliation of accounts, customer records, vendor lists, inventory items, and transaction histories to ensure that financial statements remain accurate after the merge.
Another challenge arises when organizations operate across multiple countries using different editions of QuickBooks.
Variations in currency handling, tax structures, reporting requirements, and regional software versions can complicate the consolidation process. A professional merge strategy evaluates these differences and restructures data where necessary to ensure compatibility within the target environment.
Without specialized expertise, international file merges can result in missing records, reporting errors, or unsupported data structures.
The merge itself is only part of the process. After consolidation, the resulting file must be thoroughly tested and validated.
Professional validation typically includes reviewing account balances, reconciling financial reports, checking customer and vendor records, verifying transaction counts, and confirming that key reports produce accurate results. Any discrepancies are identified and corrected before the merged file is placed into production.
This final verification stage ensures that businesses can move forward with confidence, knowing that the consolidated file reflects accurate and complete financial information.
A successful QuickBooks file merge can dramatically improve efficiency. Businesses gain cleaner records, simplified reporting, reduced administrative work, and a more accurate view of their financial operations. Teams no longer need to switch between multiple company files or reconcile duplicate information across separate systems.
For growing organizations, consolidation can provide the foundation for better decision-making and more scalable accounting processes.
QuickBooks file merging is not a standard software function. It requires specialized knowledge of database structures, transaction relationships, version compatibility, and financial reporting requirements.
As QuickBooks file consolidation specialists, we have helped organizations successfully merge duplicate entities, combine multiple company files, and preserve years of critical financial history. Through careful planning, data restructuring, and comprehensive validation, businesses can achieve a seamless transition without losing the information that matters most.
For companies facing complex consolidations, a professionally managed QuickBooks file merge turns what is often viewed as a high-risk project into a controlled and successful transformation.
