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?

Published

on

Charleston, South Carolina, United States, 14th May 2026 – Qimedo, a home-cleaning tools brand guided by the idea of “Power Every Move,” is strengthening its whole-home cleaning portfolio for modern households across North America. Built around real cleaning scenarios—from pet hair and floor stains to bathroom grime, kitchen grease, and post-grill residue—the brand aims to make everyday cleaning more efficient, more manageable, and less physically demanding. 

Alt: A modern North American household using the Qimedo cordless vacuum cleaner to effortlessly clean pet hair on hardwood floors.

With a growing product matrix designed for bathrooms, floors, kitchens, pet areas, and outdoor grill spaces, the brand aims to help families manage real household messes with less bending, less manual scrubbing, and greater everyday convenience.

Smart Home Cleaning Portfolio 

As modern households manage increasingly diverse cleaning needs across kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, and outdoor areas, many consumers continue to rely on traditional cleaning methods that require repetitive manual scrubbing, frequent tool switching, and prolonged bending or kneeling. Everyday challenges such as pet hair accumulation, grease buildup, floor stains, and post-grill residue have contributed to growing demand for more efficient and user-friendly home cleaning solutions.

Qimedo is expanding its portfolio of electric cleaning tools designed to address these real-world household cleaning scenarios through practical, multi-purpose solutions. The brand’s product lineup covers a wide range of home-cleaning applications, including floor care, bathroom deep cleaning, handheld surface scrubbing, vacuum cleaning, and outdoor grill maintenance, with a focus on helping users reduce physical effort and simplify routine cleaning tasks.

Development Philosophy 

According to the company, Qimedo’s product development strategy centers on combining convenience, ergonomic usability, and multi-scenario functionality to better support the cleaning habits of modern households.

“At Qimedo, we believe deep cleaning should not feel like a punishment. Our goal is to give modern households practical tools that reduce effort, save time, and make everyday cleaning feel more manageable,” said a Qimedo spokesperson.

A Portfolio Built Around Real Household Tasks

Within its growing lineup, each Qimedo product category plays a distinct role in the home-cleaning routine.

For pet-friendly homes and high-traffic living spaces, Qimedo’s cordless vacuum solutions are designed to help manage pet hair, dust, crumbs, and everyday debris across multiple surfaces.

For floor care, Qimedo’s M Series dual-head mops are designed to combine two everyday cleaning functions in one floor-care system: brush-style scrubbing for tougher residue and mop-style coverage for routine surface maintenance. This approach helps households manage spills, sticky marks, dried-on messes, and everyday floor buildup with less physical effort.

In bathrooms and other wet-area environments, Qimedo’s electric scrubbers are designed to help users clean tubs, tiles, grout lines, corners, and other hard-to-reach areas while reducing repetitive manual scrubbing. For kitchens and compact surface areas, handheld scrubbers provide a more targeted cleaning option for sinks, counters, stovetops, and food residue.

The brand also extends its cleaning approach beyond indoor spaces. Its outdoor grill-cleaning tools are designed to support post-cooking cleanup for barbecue equipment and backyard entertaining areas, reflecting Qimedo’s broader focus on whole-home cleaning scenarios.

Together, the lineup reflects Qimedo’s commitment to practical, user-friendly cleaning tools that help modern households reduce effort, save time, and maintain cleaner living spaces with greater comfort and confidence.

Qimedo reinforces its customer-first service commitment by offering free shipping on orders over $100, along with a 45-day worry-free returns and refund guarantee.

Steven Lash San Diego: Patent Holder and Thought Leader Champions Business Model Innovation and Sustainability at Industry Forums

Published

on

San Diego, CA, 14th May 2026, ZEX PR WIRE  Steven Lash San Diego entrepreneur, independent consultant, and patent holder, is continuing to elevate industry conversations on business model innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurial thinking through ongoing participation in industry forums, advisory engagements, and professional communities including the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).

Recognized as an accomplished thought leader with three decades of leadership in operations, advising, and restructuring, Steven Lash San Diego has built a reputation for translating entrepreneurial insight into practical strategy. His perspective consistently centers on the idea that forward thinking organizations need more than incremental change. They need scalable operational models, visionary leadership, and a willingness to rethink the underlying business model itself.

That perspective is shaped, in part, by his own work as an innovator and patent holder. Steven Lash holds business method patents that reflect his long standing commitment to innovation and forward thinking problem solving, and his consulting practice draws directly on that hands on experience with building something new from the ground up.

A distinguished graduate of SUNY Binghamton (BS in Business) and the University of San Diego (MBA), Steven Lash brings academic rigor and real world entrepreneurial experience to every advisory engagement. As an independent consultant, he advises founders, boards, and leadership teams on marketing strategy, organizational transformations, restructuring, and the design of scalable operational models built for transformative growth.

At industry events and industry forums, Steven Lash San Diego is increasingly known for connecting two themes that often get discussed separately: innovation and sustainability. He has argued that long term organizational health depends on treating sustainability not as a compliance line item but as a source of business model innovation in its own right.

“Sustainability and innovation are not two different conversations. They are the same conversation,” said Steven Lash. “Organizations that build sustainability into their operating model from the start tend to discover entirely new categories of value. That is where transformative growth actually comes from.”

His ongoing work with innovative entrepreneurs and forward thinking organizations continues to reflect that view, blending entrepreneurial thinking, marketing strategy, and operational discipline into engagements designed to position clients for long term resilience.

Ukrainian Parents in Denmark Receive Guidance at Church of Scientology on Education

Published

Community seminar in Copenhagen focused on integration, education and support for displaced families adapting to life in Denmark

Brussels, Belgium, 14th May 2026 — Ukrainian parents living in Denmark gathered in Copenhagen for an educational seminar aimed at helping families better understand the Danish school system, child development approaches and the social integration process facing many displaced families since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.

The seminar was organized by the Church of Scientology Denmark and held in Copenhagen, bringing together Ukrainian mothers seeking practical guidance on how to support their children’s adaptation to Danish educational culture while maintaining stability within the family environment.

The initiative was reported by MyNewsDesk Denmark, highlighting the growing need for community-based educational support programs for refugee and migrant families across Europe.

The seminar was led by Marianne, an experienced educator and founder of a private kindergarten with nearly 30 years of professional experience. During the session, she explained key aspects of the Danish educational philosophy, including the importance placed on independence, social interaction, play-based learning and close cooperation between schools and parents.

Participants discussed the differences between educational expectations in Denmark and those common in Ukraine. One example that generated considerable discussion involved the Danish emphasis on exploratory outdoor activities for children, even when that means children return home with dirty clothing after a day of learning and play. According to attendees, the example helped illustrate broader cultural differences regarding childhood development and education.

The seminar also addressed practical concerns that many Ukrainian parents experience when interacting with Danish institutions, including communication with teachers, pedagogues, speech specialists and municipal educational services.

Questions surrounding parental authority and cooperation with schools were discussed openly. Organizers explained that the Danish system encourages active parental participation while also providing professional support structures designed to assist children with language acquisition, social integration and academic development.

One participant, identified as Iriny in the report, described the seminar as “interesting and practical,” noting that it provided valuable insight into how Danish educational institutions cooperate with families and support children adapting to a new cultural environment.

The event forms part of a broader pattern of local initiatives organized by Scientology communities across Europe focused on education, social betterment and humanitarian support. Churches, missions and affiliated groups regularly host activities connected to drug prevention, volunteer assistance, literacy, human rights education and community support programs.

These initiatives are inspired by the humanitarian principles and social philosophy developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, whose writings on education, communication and social responsibility continue to influence many Scientology-supported social programs worldwide.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, commented on the broader significance of such community initiatives in Europe:

“Successful integration is built through understanding, access to information, mutual respect and the active participation of families within society. Community initiatives that help parents understand educational systems and social structures contribute positively to social cohesion and to the well-being of children adapting to new environments.”

Organizers indicated that additional seminars and educational activities are being considered in the future, including further discussions on cultural adaptation and the integration of children into Danish society.

The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present across the European continent. Scientology Europe reports a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support, inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Within Europe’s diverse national frameworks for religion, the Church’s recognitions continue to expand, with administrative and judicial authorities in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany Slovakia and others, as well as the European Court of Human Rights, having addressed and acknowledged Scientology communities as protected by the national and international provisions of Freedom of Religion or belief.
