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?

Nineteen-year-old founder builds a digital marketing agency and a local news platform while seeking strategic partnerships to accelerate innovation and business growth across Thailand.

Thailand, 29th Jul 2026 – Young entrepreneur Emin Can Yoldaş is expanding his footprint in Thailand’s digital economy through the continued growth of his digital marketing agency, LatestVisual, and the recent launch of Thailand Paper, an independent local news platform designed to deliver timely news and community-focused reporting. At just 19 years old, the Turkish entrepreneur is pursuing an ambitious vision of combining digital innovation, media, and marketing services while creating long-term opportunities for businesses operating in Thailand.

Living and working in Thailand, Yoldaş has focused on building businesses that address the growing demand for professional digital solutions and reliable online media. His entrepreneurial journey reflects the increasing number of young founders who are leveraging international experience and technology to create businesses with both local relevance and global aspirations.

Building a Digital Marketing Agency for Business Growth

LatestVisual was established to help businesses strengthen their online presence through modern digital marketing strategies. The agency provides a broad range of services, including search engine optimisation (SEO), content marketing, web development, branding, and customised digital growth strategies designed to improve visibility and generate sustainable business results.

By working with companies seeking to expand their digital reach, LatestVisual aims to deliver practical marketing solutions tailored to each client’s objectives. As businesses continue investing in digital transformation, the agency focuses on combining creative branding with data-driven marketing approaches that help organisations compete in an increasingly competitive online marketplace.

Yoldaş believes that strong digital foundations enable businesses of all sizes to reach wider audiences, build stronger customer relationships, and create lasting brand value.

Launching Thailand Paper With a Long-Term Vision

Alongside his marketing agency, Yoldaş recently launched Thailand Paper, a local news website dedicated to covering developments across Thailand. The platform was created to provide accessible reporting while supporting a growing demand for independent digital news sources serving local communities and international readers interested in Thailand.

Thailand Paper represents a significant milestone in Yoldaş’s entrepreneurial journey. Rather than simply creating another online publication, he envisions developing the platform into one of Thailand’s leading independent news websites by continually expanding its editorial coverage, strengthening its digital presence, and investing in sustainable media growth.

The platform is expected to cover a broad range of topics relevant to readers throughout Thailand while adapting to changing digital media consumption habits.

International Ambitions Drive Continued Expansion

As a Turkish entrepreneur building businesses abroad, Yoldaş sees Thailand as a dynamic environment for innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital development. His international perspective has helped shape both LatestVisual and Thailand Paper, with each business serving different but complementary roles within the country’s growing digital landscape.

His long-term objective is to continue expanding both companies while exploring new opportunities within digital media, technology, and business development. By combining marketing expertise with media publishing, he aims to create an ecosystem that supports business growth while contributing to Thailand’s evolving digital economy.

The launch of Thailand Paper also reflects a broader trend of entrepreneurs investing in independent digital publishing platforms capable of serving increasingly connected audiences through accessible online journalism.

Entrepreneurial Spirit Extends Beyond Business

In addition to his entrepreneurial activities, Yoldaş participates in Thailand’s amateur motorcycle racing community as a Big Bike Supersport racer. His involvement in motorsports demonstrates the same determination, discipline, and competitive mindset that he applies to building businesses.

Balancing entrepreneurship with racing has reinforced qualities such as focus, resilience, and continuous improvement—characteristics that have become central to his professional development as he pursues ambitious business goals at a young age.

Seeking Strategic Partnerships for Future Growth

As both businesses continue to develop, Yoldaş is actively seeking investors, strategic partners, and business collaborations to help accelerate the expansion of Thailand Paper and LatestVisual.

He welcomes opportunities to work with organisations, investors, media professionals, and businesses interested in supporting innovative digital projects, expanding independent media initiatives, and developing new marketing solutions for companies operating in Thailand and beyond.

With ambitious plans for continued growth, Yoldaş remains committed to building sustainable businesses that combine innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship while creating value for clients, readers, and future partners.

MEXC Integrates World-Check to Fortify Institutional Grade Compliance Architecture

Published

July 29, 2026

By

Mutsamudu, Comoros, July 29th, 2026, Chainwire

“In a rapidly maturing digital asset market, relying on fragmented risk data is a critical vulnerability. Building a resilient ecosystem demands institutional-grade intelligence.”

MEXC, the world’s fastest-growing digital asset exchange and a pioneer of true zero-fee trading, has today announced a collaboration with LSEG Risk Intelligence.This partnership enables the integration of World-Check, equipping the platform with the same risk intelligence database used by financial institutions globally, setting a new benchmark for proactive security in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Deploying an Institutional Grade Risk Architecture

As institutional and retail adoption of digital assets accelerates, uncompromising security measures have become a critical operational imperative. By adopting LSEG World-Check, MEXC is fusing the rigorous compliance frameworks of traditional finance with the agility of the digital economy. This strategic upgrade sets a new benchmark for the industry, ensuring the platform’s overarching security infrastructure meets regulatory standards.

Precision Screening and Preemptive Ecosystem Defence

World-Check is globally recognised as the authoritative and trusted source for risk intelligence. To execute its high-level security strategy, MEXC is embedding this premier data directly into its internal workflows. This integration facilitates real-time screening and cross-referencing against global regulatory and sanctions watchlists. Crucially, the system identifies Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and continuously tracks adverse media to swiftly intercept illicit actors. This dual capability fundamentally reinforces the exchange’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) protocols.

Securing the Future of Digital Asset Trading

Shifting away from reactive regulatory measures, MEXC is engineering a preventative approach to platform security. The integration helps the exchange filter out high-risk actors during initial onboarding and continues monitoring existing accounts, keeping the trading environment clean.

Vugar Usi, Chief Executive Officer of MEXC, said: “At MEXC, protecting our users and partners is non-negotiable. By integrating LSEG’s World-Check risk intelligence platform into our digital asset infrastructure, we are setting a new standard for compliance and transparency in the industry. This partnership reflects our steadfast commitment to building a trading environment that not only meets today’s regulatory expectations but anticipates tomorrow’s. We are dedicated to creating an ecosystem where legitimate participants can engage with confidence, and our collaboration with LSEG ensures we have the screening capabilities to deliver on that promise. “

Michael Meadon, Director, Asia Pacific at LSEG Risk Intelligence, said: “As digital assets continue to mature, market participants are rightly expecting the same level of rigour they see across traditional finance. By integrating World-Check into its compliance workflows, MEXC is strengthening its ability to identify high-risk actors, enhance screening at onboarding and through ongoing monitoring, and support a safer trading environment for users globally.”

About MEXC

MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets.
