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?

Press Release

All Thingz Electric Urges Orange County Homeowners to Service Backup Generators Before Fall Outage Season

Published

32 minutes ago

on

August 21, 2026

By

Aliso Viejo, California, United States, 21st Aug 2026 – All Thingz Electric, a licensed electrical contractor serving Aliso Viejo and the surrounding South Orange County communities, is advising homeowners to have backup generators and transfer switches inspected now, ahead of the Santa Ana wind season responsible for most of Southern California’s fall power shutoffs.

Fall Is When Orange County Loses Power

Southern California Edison runs Public Safety Power Shutoffs when high wind and dry brush raise wildfire risk. Those conditions concentrate in September, October, and November. Shutoffs last hours and sometimes stretch into a second day. Hillside and canyon-adjacent neighborhoods across South Orange County sit inside the highest-risk zones, and a single event takes out entire streets at once.

A standby generator protects a home only if it starts and carries the load. Most residential units run a short weekly self-test. The self-test confirms the engine turns over. It does not confirm the unit holds a full household load for eight hours, and it misses a failing starting battery, stale fuel, a clogged air filter, or a transfer switch stuck in the utility position.

“Almost nobody calls us during an outage because their generator died of old age,” said Anthony Feeney, founder and certified journeyman electrician at All Thingz Electric. “They call because the unit has not been touched since the day it was installed. A dead starting battery stops a five-year-old generator as fast as a fifteen-year-old one.”

What a Pre-Season Service Visit Covers

All Thingz Electric technicians load-test the starting battery, change oil and filters against hours run rather than the calendar, verify fuel supply pressure on natural gas and propane systems, and operate the automatic transfer switch under load to confirm it moves the house off utility power and back again. The visit also checks the generator’s connection at the service panel, where loose lugs and corroded terminals build up quietly over years.

Homes with a history of nuisance tripping get a look at the circuit breaker side as well, since a breaker problem shows up under generator load the same way it shows up on utility power. An electrical inspection and code compliance check confirms the installation still meets current requirements.

Homes Without Backup Power Have a Narrow Window

For homeowners considering a system, timing matters. Whole-home generator installation runs one to two days on site once permits clear, and the permit step follows the city’s calendar rather than the contractor’s. Portable setups move faster. A manual transfer switch and power inlet install in four to six hours and let a portable unit feed hardwired circuits safely, instead of running extension cords under a door.

Panel capacity decides part of this. A generator ties into the same service equipment as everything else in the house, and older Orange County panels often lack the spare capacity or the physical room for a transfer switch. In those homes an electrical panel upgrade or a sub-panel installation comes first. Homeowners already planning a panel upgrade often add whole-house surge protection at the same visit, since restored utility power after an outage is one of the more common sources of household surges.

“Backup power is the one system in a house nobody thinks about until the hour it matters,” Feeney said. “Book the service call in August. By late October the whole county is calling at the same time.”

All Thingz Electric offers free quotes on generator installation and service, and its 24/7 emergency electrical team responds during active outages.

Press Release

Fabricate Adds Database Explorer to Its Free AI Website Builder

Published

1 hour ago

on

August 21, 2026

By

Fabricate, a free AI website builder, has added a built-in database explorer for preview builds and a publishing step that verifies an application’s production database schema before deployment.

Anchorage, Alaska, United States, 21st Aug 2026 – Fabricate, a free AI website builder that generates full-stack applications, has released a set of database capabilities for applications generated on its platform. The release adds a built-in database explorer for preview builds and a publishing step that verifies an application’s production database before it is deployed.

Applications generated on the platform are provisioned with a database automatically, and the generated code includes the migrations that define its schema. Until this release, developers could inspect that data only after publishing. The database explorer now lets them browse tables and run queries against an application’s preview database while it is still in development.

The second part of the release changes what happens at publish. Publishing now compares the live production schema against the migrations the application generated, applies any that are missing, and refuses to deploy against a database it cannot verify. A production migration that fails now reports the failure rather than reporting success.

Preview and production databases are also now separated, so a preview build cannot write to the production database backing a published application.

“Generated code is only half of an application. The data underneath it is the other half, and it is the half people are afraid to touch,” said Aaron E. Rushing, Founder of Fabricate. “A developer should be able to look at their tables before they publish, and publishing should never quietly deploy against a schema that does not match the code.”

How the Platform Works

Fabricate converts natural-language descriptions into production-ready applications, generating React and TypeScript front ends, backend APIs, database schemas, and a live deployment URL. Users describe an application in plain English, watch the code generate in real time, and refine it through follow-up conversation. Generated applications run on Cloudflare Workers, with TailwindCSS styling and Vite builds. The platform is available as a free AI website builder that requires no payment method to begin.

Users created 2,222 applications on the platform in the 30 days ending August 18, 2026. The most active build categories over that period included administrative panels, chat applications, job boards, and SaaS dashboards, application types that require a backend service, an authentication layer, and a database rather than a single-page template. Teams building revenue-generating software can review supported integrations, including payment processing, authentication, and database provisioning, on the AI SaaS builder overview.

The database work follows a broader set of platform changes released over the same period. Fabricate moved the product and its marketing site onto a new design system, added daily DNS drift detection for applications published on custom domains, and changed a project’s first build to start on the server, so that it no longer depends on the browser staying connected. Runtime errors from a running application are captured and surfaced back into the conversation that generated it.

Availability and Pricing

The database explorer is available for preview builds on the platform, and database access has been included on the free plan since April 2026. The Fabricate free plan includes 60 monthly credits and one published project. The Pro plan is priced at 25 USD per month and includes 350 monthly credits, private projects, code download, GitHub export, and no watermark. The Scale plan is priced at 50 USD per month and includes 700 monthly credits and dedicated support. New accounts receive a seven-day trial that includes 100 credits.

About Fabricate

Fabricate is a free AI website builder that generates full-stack applications from natural language descriptions, deployed and production-ready. Built for founders, developers, designers, freelancers, and agencies, the platform handles the development lifecycle from first prompt to live deployment, generating React, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS applications on Cloudflare’s global network.

Aligned Launches $ALIGN, the Native Token of Its Full Ethereum Stack

Published

1 hour ago

on

August 21, 2026

By

Montevideo, Uruguay, August 20th, 2026, Chainwire

Aligned allows fintechs and institutions to build financial products on Ethereum, with one-click solutions for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services.

Today, Aligned, a full-stack Ethereum infrastructure project, has launched $ALIGN*, the native token of its ecosystem, with listings on major exchanges. Aligned is working to turn Ethereum into the world’s financial backend, and its ecosystem is the single integration fintechs, institutions, and enterprises use to build financial products on Ethereum.

Less than one percent of the world’s assets are onchain, and most of what has moved sits on Ethereum as stablecoins, tokenized treasuries, and wrapped assets. Building on top of them is still harder than it should be. A fintech going onchain usually signs with multiple vendors, one for wallets, another for scalability solutions (including rollups and proving systems), then spends months wiring them together and keeping them in sync. There is no standard way to ship a financial product on Ethereum yet.

Aligned was built to fix that. It’s built in close collaboration with LambdaClass, a company behind key contributions across the Ethereum ecosystem, including work on Starknet, zkSync, Polygon Miden, and EigenCloud (formerly EigenLayer), as well as Ethrex (the execution client which powers Aligned’s Rollup-as-a-Service) and lambdaworks, a cryptography library written in Rust. By integrating with Aligned, users can access wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services through a single stack.

Aligned ships the stack one piece at a time:

  • Proof Aggregation Service: live on mainnet alpha. Batching the proofs a rollup generates so verification stays cheap as Ethereum scales.
  • Wallet-as-a-Service: MVP already launched. Users sign in with Google or Face ID and get a real Ethereum wallet, with no seed phrases, extensions, or gas fees.
  • Rollup-as-a-Service, the LambdaVM, and the interoperability protocol: in development. The LambdaVM is Aligned’s RISC-V zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine), built in collaboration with LambdaClass and 3MI Labs. Each ships as it’s ready.

The world’s assets are moving onto Ethereum, and Aligned is creating the stack that makes it easy to build on. In the future, $ALIGN will be available as an option to pay for the services across that stack, from Proof Aggregation to Wallet-as-a-Service. As more teams build on Aligned, it will be the asset they use to pay for that usage. It is a utility token. It is not equity, a share, or a claim on revenue or dividends, and it does not promise a yield or a price.

$ALIGN has a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, with about 16% circulating at launch. The full allocation and the Genesis airdrop are laid out in the ALIGN tokenomics. The airdrop was distributed across several waves spanning developers and researchers, the Discord and Galxe communities, distinguished contributors to Ethereum and ZK such as Protocol Guild, L2BEAT, ZachXBT, and ZK Podcast, and holders of ecosystem tokens including Starknet, Mina, zkSync, Polygon, Scroll, Taiko, and EigenCloud.

Aligned is committed to Ethereum by choice, focusing all of its efforts on it. Through the rest of the year, the team plans to ship the remaining pieces of the stack and grow the number of products built on it. The longer-term goal is to make building a financial product on Ethereum a single decision, not a systems-integration project.

Check eligibility and follow the launch at community.alignedlayer.com. To hear more, read the ALIGN tokenomics at blog.alignedlayer.com and follow @alignedlayer.

About Aligned

Aligned builds the tools that turn Ethereum into the world’s financial backend. It gives fintechs, institutions, and enterprises one integration for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services, so they can build real financial products on Ethereum instead of assembling a stack from separate vendors. Users can learn more at alignedlayer.com.

*$ALIGN is the native asset of the Aligned ecosystem, built on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token and also available on Base, with a fixed total supply of 10 billion and an initial circulating supply equal to approximately 16% of the total token supply. It will be used across the Aligned stack. $ALIGN is not equity, a share, or a claim on revenue or dividends. This announcement is informational only and is not financial advice.
