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?

Luminaris Securities and Capital Ltd. Receives Official Approval from South Africa’s FSCA

Published

on

November 27, 2025

By

Dual Authorization Granted for ETF Issuance and Market-Making Operations, Marking a New Stage of Internationalization for South Africa’s Asset Management Industry

South Africa, 27th Nov 2025 – Luminaris Securities & Capital Ltd. has officially received approval from South Africa’s Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), authorizing the firm to issue, manage, and operate Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and to conduct market-making activities in the South African market. This milestone marks a major step forward for South Africa’s capital markets in the direction of internationalization, diversification, and transparency—enabling local investors to access global indices, diversified asset classes, and major industry growth opportunities at lower cost and higher efficiency.

Regulatory Breakthrough Under the FSCA Framework

Following FSCA authorization, Luminaris will launch multiple ETFs for local issuance, establish full compliance connectivity with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), and provide dual-currency investment options in both South African rand (ZAR) and US dollars (USD).

The ETF product suite will include:

  • Broad-based Index ETFs (JSE, S&P, global indices)
  • Sector-themed funds (technology, resources, finance, telecom, consumer industries) 
  • Quant-driven active management ETFs 

The company noted that the approval reflects strong recognition from South African regulators of its transparent operations, global-standard risk controls, and institutional asset management capabilities.

ETFs: A Catalyst for Market Liquidity and Structural Upgrading

ETFs have become mainstream investment vehicles worldwide. Global ETF AUM increased from USD 1 trillion in 2010 to USD 11 trillion in 2024, driven by low fees, transparency, and real-time tradability.

FSCA’s approval of Luminaris’ ETF programme is expected to:

  • Enhance secondary market liquidity
  • Broaden institutional investor participation 
  • Introduce index-based and quantitative investment tools 
  • Attract global capital inflows into the South African market 

As one senior market economist commented,
“An ETF is not merely a fund — it is a structural upgrade to the market mechanism.”

Investment Outlook: Supporting South Africa’s Long-Term Growth

South Africa remains one of Africa’s most diversified and financially developed economies. Despite cyclical fluctuations, its financial system, trade foundation, and expanding middle class underpin long-term growth.

ETF and market-making operations are expected to bring three strategic advantages:

  • Formation of long-duration capital — attracting pension, insurance, and bank-managed funds 
  • Market transparency and pricing efficiency — through index-based valuation frameworks
  • Enhanced international capital access — enabling global investors to participate more easily in local market growth

Experts believe this development positions South Africa to evolve from an “emerging market” into a “global investment destination.”

First Batch of Flagship Products

Luminaris plans to introduce two flagship offerings:

South Africa Core Growth ETF (SACG)

Tracking leading South African enterprises while incorporating international weightings; suitable as a long-term portfolio core holding.

Market Maker Stock Intelligence System (MMSIS)

An automated market-making engine based on real-time order-book analytics and dynamic pricing models, designed to optimize liquidity, narrow spreads, stabilize market activity, and provide investors with more competitive execution.

These products will be registered within the FSCA and JSE regulatory frameworks. South African investors may subscribe directly through the Luminaris online trading platform, while Non-Resident South Africans (NRSA), overseas South African investors, and qualified foreign institutional investors (QFII) may participate upon approval.

Industry Response: “One of the Most Significant Market Innovations in Years”

Financial analysts describe the dual approval for ETF issuance and market-making as one of South Africa’s most impactful capital-market upgrades in recent years.

“ETF adoption aligns South Africa with global investment standards,” said a senior economist at the South African Capital Markets Research Center. “We will see more international inflows, more AI-driven advisory tools, and more structured investment products entering this high-potential market.”

About Luminaris Securities & Capital Ltd.

Luminaris Securities & Capital Ltd. is a multinational financial institution headquartered on Wall Street, with branches across Asia, Europe, and Africa. The firm specializes in ETF index investing, market-making and liquidity engineering, cross-border asset allocation, and institutional asset management, with over USD 200 billion in assets under management.

The South African regulatory approval marks a major milestone in the company’s Africa expansion strategy. Luminaris will introduce international-standard compliance frameworks and high-transparency disclosure practices to support South Africa’s continued integration with global financial markets.
