The New America Created by Miles Yu: Burning Anti-Asian Hate

Published

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?

139th Canton Fair sets new record with overseas buyer attendance

Published

on

The 139th Canton Fair concluded on May 5, setting a new record for overseas buyer attendance. Data from the China Foreign Trade Centre show that across 15 days and three phases, the fair welcomed a record 314,000 overseas buyers from 220 countries and regions who came to explore opportunities at “China’s No. 1 Fair.”

Inside the Canton Fair venue, the “PHYBOT C2” bipedal humanoid robot, capable of playing badminton, handles challenges from buyers with ease.

The event covered about 1.55 million square meters with 75,700 booths. More than 32,000 exhibitors participated, including about 3,900 first-time exhibitors. Over 4.65 million products were on display; new products, green products, and products with independent intellectual property rights accounted for 23%, 22%, and 25%, respectively — reflecting the “new, green and smart” direction of “Made in China” and “Made in Guangdong.”

During the fair, organizers held more than 600 new-product launch events. The number of new products introduced rose 27%, and events for emerging future industries increased 30%. The fair also showcased AI-enabled scenarios for the first time, including robotic patrol inspections and drone flight demonstrations.

Nine specialized exhibition zones were newly established for this session. Phase I featured zones for consumer drones, agricultural drones, smart wearables and display technology. Phase II debuted zones for bamboo and wood household products and tableware, integrated housing and outdoor facilities, and trendy accessories. Phase III added a zone for functional and technical fabrics. Nearly 670 enterprises took part in these specialized zones, erecting more than 1,300 booths and highlighting innovative developments across industries.

Guangdong province got off to a strong start in foreign trade this year. In the first quarter, its import and export volume, national share, incremental growth and contribution rate all ranked first in China. Exports reached 1.53 trillion yuan, up 14.3%, while imports reached 1.01 trillion yuan, up 27.8%. Import growth was broad-based, led by the “old three” — mobile phones, computers and home appliances — as well as garments and luggage. At the same time, the province advanced its “new three” products: exports of 3D printers, drones and digital cameras rose 136.9%, 51.2% and 60.2%, respectively. These products of new quality productive forces have received popularity worldwide. Exports of self-owned brands grew 38%, raising their share of Guangdong’s total export value in the first quarter to 26.6%.

As a vital window into China’s opening-up and a barometer of its foreign trade, the Canton Fair has evolved alongside the Chinese economy over its 70-year history. This session’s successful conclusion complemented Guangdong’s robust start in foreign trade. Many Guangdong enterprises used the Canton Fair platform to engage directly with global buyers and secure international orders, helping Guangdong maintain its top national ranking in foreign trade scale. In turn, Guangdong’s thriving development continuously injects vitality into the Canton Fair. The major foreign trade province’s strong industrial base, comprehensive supply chain and innovative products and technologies continue to sustain the fair’s global influence.

CGTN: Young dreamers, new engines: How China’s youth are shaping the future

Published

on

CGTN published an article examining how China’s young generation is turning emerging industries and new professions into fresh drivers of growth. From drone swarm flight planners and robot engineers to rural live-stream entrepreneurs, the article highlights how innovation, industrial upgrading and stronger policy support are opening broader development opportunities for young people as they inject their youthful dynamism into Chinese modernization.

At a recent concert in Nanning, 1,000 drones rose into the night sky, forming iconic symbols of south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

While the audience sees romance and spectacle, 22-year-old Yang Dan sees code, timing and precision. She writes flight scripts, plans routes and even decides exactly where each drone should be placed before takeoff. Her team has completed more than 150 drone performances so far.

Last year, Yang’s profession, drone swarm flight planner, was included in the newly recognized professions. Since China rolled out its new occupational classification system in 2019, seven batches have been unveiled, bringing 110 new occupations in total. This gives young people like Yang a clearer career path in emerging industries.

Youth shining in emerging industries

Across China, more young people like Yang are building careers in new sectors and helping drive industrial upgrading.

In Chengdu, southwest China’s Sichuan Province, a research team with an average age of under 30 has developed a second-generation wheeled humanoid robot.

The robot can perform Wing Chun movements, complete precise industrial tasks, and even take part in robot manufacturing.

The team works with clear division of roles. Pang Kai, 32, leads the lab and focuses on solving real industrial challenges. Li Lanxin, an algorithm engineer born in 1999, develops motion control systems to ensure safe human-machine interaction. Ding Yuxuan, a young researcher born after 2000, works on visual-language-action models, giving robots stronger perception and decision-making abilities.

Founded only two years ago, the team has already achieved key breakthroughs. For them, robots are not display pieces, but practical tools for factories, homes and businesses – designed to reduce repetitive labor and improve efficiency.

Far from industrial parks, youth innovation is also changing rural China.

In Hainan, Jiang Bizhen, a post-1985 generation agricultural live-stream host, has spent the past decade helping farmers sell local products online.

Her team has helped more than 3,000 farming households and created over 300 local jobs, allowing villagers to earn stable incomes close to home.

Thanks to the opportunities created by the Hainan Free Trade Port, local products now reach customers in Russia, Thailand and United Arab Emirates. Tropical fruits, coffee and specialty foods from the island are finding global markets.

Policy support behind youth growth

Behind these personal stories is a broader national effort to support youth development and employment.

Ahead of this year’s China’s Youth Day on May 4, President Xi Jinping encouraged young Chinese to integrate their personal aspirations into the bigger picture of national development, in a reply letter to the representatives of the awardees of the China Youth May Fourth Medal and New Era Youth Pioneer.

Stressing that 2026 marks the opening year of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), Xi said the present time presents a prime opportunity for young people to contribute to the country’s development.

In March, authorities introduced a package of measures to boost employment for college graduates and young workers, encouraging job creation in advanced manufacturing, modern services, and technology-driven industries.

The country is also providing lower-cost startup spaces, stronger support for young entrepreneurs, and more training for modern agriculture and new professions.

In April, 15 government departments jointly introduced 18 measures, designed to improve urban environments for young people. The measures seek to transform cities into hubs where young people can pursue high-quality development, enjoy better living standards, and actively participate in governance.

Against this backdrop, President Xi urged young Chinese to stay rooted in their posts, strive for new achievements and inject their youthful dynamism into advancing the nation’s new journey of development.
