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?

Nova Junk marks 20 years of eco-friendly junk removal in the Washington DC area

Published

on

Nova Junk, a family-owned junk removal company based in Alexandria, Virginia, celebrates two decades of responsible hauling, recycling, and donation services across the Washington DC metro region.

Washington, United States, 16th Jul 2026 – Nova Junk, a locally owned junk removal company serving Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland, is marking its 20th year in business. Founded on September 11, 2005, according to information published on the company website, the company has grown from a two-person family operation into a multi-service hauling company with a team that includes extended family members and long-tenured employees.

Nova Junk provides junk removal, estate cleanouts, office cleanouts, construction debris removal, yard debris hauling, shed removal, hot tub disposal, and labor-only services, according to the company website. The company serves communities throughout the Washington DC metro area, including Alexandria, Fairfax, Arlington, Bethesda, Montgomery County, and Prince George County.

A distinguishing feature of Nova Junk’s operating model is its three-stage disposal process: donate, recycle, and landfill. According to information published on the company website, the team sorts through all collected material, first setting aside items that can be donated to local charities and then separating recyclable materials such as batteries, printers, and refrigerators. Only the remainder goes to the landfill, and the company states that it typically sends just one third of collected material to the dump.

The company is licensed and fully insured, according to the company website, and places a strong emphasis on punctuality and transparent pricing. Nova Junk states that final charges are adjusted downward when a load turns out to be smaller than estimated, a policy highlighted repeatedly in customer reviews published on the company website.

“We started this company as a family and grew it the same way – by treating every customer’s home and business the way we would want ours treated,” said Norman Elbekri, Co-founder at Nova Junk. “After 20 years we are still committed to the same values we started with: honest pricing, responsible disposal, and service that people can count on.”

Nova Junk serves both residential and commercial clients. Services extend to de-cluttering and hoarding solutions, moving and foreclosure cleanouts, and demolition site cleanup. The company operates from two locations – 2000 Duke Street in Alexandria, Virginia and Smoketown Road in Woodbridge, Virginia – and can be reached at novajunk.com.

Press Release

Jyong Biotech has updated its market entry strategy for innovative botanical pharmaceuticals, establishing multiple competitive advantages for its new drug portfolio

Published

on

Jyong Biotech Ltd. (Nasdaq stock code: MENS) (hereinafter referred to as “the Company” or “Jyong Biotech”) is a science-driven biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative plant-based therapies. The Company recently announced that, following an analysis of the clinical efficacy and competitive advantages of its innovative botanical drugs Botreso® and PCP, it has advanced its market access strategy.

As previously announced by the company, its first core product, Botreso®, has completed four Phase III clinical trials (API-1) in the United States and Taiwan, while its second core product, PCP, has successfully completed a Phase II clinical trial. Overall clinical data demonstrate that Jyong Biotech’s innovative botanical drugs exhibit significant differentiation advantages compared to currently marketed synthetic chemical drugs.

Overall Safety Profile for Long-Term Use

For middle-aged and elderly males requiring long-term medication, safety is one of the most decisive factors. In clinical trials—Botreso® (Phase III) had a treatment duration of one year, while PCP (Phase II) lasted two years—no drug-related serious adverse events were observed, demonstrating excellent safety and tolerability.

In contrast, currently available chemically synthesized drugs for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are often associated with adverse effects such as postural hypotension, erectile dysfunction, and decreased libido. Regulatory authorities and research institutions have linked certain synthetic alternative medications to significant risks, prompting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue a safety advisory regarding advanced prostate cancer and depression in 2011, and to include suicidal ideation in its list of adverse reactions in 2022. Additionally, an independent study conducted in 2021 also established associations between these drugs and cardiac failure.

Management of risks associated with advanced prostate cancer

Large-scale international clinical trials have demonstrated that while certain synthetic drugs used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can reduce the overall incidence of prostate cancer, they may paradoxically increase the proportion of advanced prostate cancer (Grisson score ≥ 7) when cancer develops, thereby posing significant clinical safety concerns.

The Phase II clinical trial of PCP was a large-scale, long-term study on rare conditions conducted in Taiwan across 20 major hospitals. Over a period of two years, the trial involved 135 urologists (representing more than one-tenth of all urologists in Taiwan) and enrolled a total of 702 participants. It was one of the first global clinical trials specifically targeting prostate cancer prevention using a novel botanical drug conducted in Taiwan. The results demonstrated that PCP exhibited a downward trend in both overall prostate cancer incidence and the risk of advanced-stage prostate cancer, effectively addressing concerns within the medical community regarding the risks associated with existing therapies.

Comprehensive approach of “Treatment + Prevention + Metabolic Management”

Based on the clinical data from the company’s conducted trials, the company believes it is establishing a differentiated product positioning.

• Improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS): Effectively alleviates symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

• Prevention of prostate cancer: Demonstrates prophylactic clinical potential.

• Metabolic and cardiovascular protection: Decreased triglyceride levels (P=0.05), significantly reduced total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) (P<0.05), significantly increased high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) (P<0.05), and maintained stable blood glucose levels.

This comprehensive therapy delivers benefits without adversely affecting blood pressure, liver function, or renal function. The company emphasizes that this integrated approach combining treatment, prevention, and metabolic management is exceptionally rare among current prostate medications and holds significant appeal for men aged 40 and above.

Technical Barriers and Competitive Advantages

Due to the inherent complexity and diversity of components in novel botanical drugs, quality control poses greater challenges compared to that of small-molecule chemical drugs. Jianyong Biotechnology asserts that the company has successfully established a comprehensive technical platform, which includes:

• Purification and establishment of reference standards.

• Development and validation of analytical methods.

• Perform the validation analysis and verification process.

The company believes that such comprehensive capabilities create substantial market entry barriers, rendering the products highly difficult to replicate. Furthermore, they effectively mitigate risks associated with competition from counterfeit and substandard products as well as generic drugs, ultimately contributing to an extended period of market monopoly.

The upgraded market positioning and strategic value

As a plant-based new drug protected by global patents, Jyong Biotech believes its market strategy leverages the following key advantages:

• Pricing competitiveness: Its unique metabolic protection profile and safety profile enable it to command higher prices compared to non-patented generic drugs, making it attractive to both out-of-pocket and high-end healthcare markets.

• Authorization potential: The combination of high tolerability, excellent safety profile (no serious adverse reactions), and multiple clinical benefits makes it an ideal target for international pharmaceutical collaboration.

• Market scalability: Expanding the product portfolio from treatment-oriented approaches to the fields of preventive medicine and health management.

Globally, over 500 million men aged 50 and above seek treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In 2020, the global BPH drug market was valued at $4.1 billion and is projected to reach $9.8 billion by 2026. Although the current treatment market generates annual revenues of approximately $6.5 to $7 billion, this figure reflects price reductions due to patent expiration. If calculated based on prices during the patent period, the market potential exceeds $20 billion annually.

“Due to the complex composition of botanical new drugs, they face significant challenges in quality control compared to small-molecule chemical drugs,” stated Chairman Guo of Jianyong Biotechnology. “We have established a robust technical platform that encompasses the purification of reference standards, development and validation of analytical methods, as well as performance validation analyses. This high entry barrier makes counterfeiting difficult to achieve, reduces competition from generic drugs, and helps extend market exclusivity periods.”

Chairman Guo stated: “Botreso® is Taiwan’s first oral botanical drug to obtain an IND approval from the U.S. FDA for Phase III clinical trials (API-1) and has successfully completed all four Phase III clinical trials.”

Jyong Biotech holds multiple invention patents across Asia, the Americas, and the European Union, and has signed letters of intent and investment agreements with several international pharmaceutical companies. The company plans to further expand its strategic, fee-based licensing partnerships to support its global market expansion.

As of today, Botreso® and PCP remain in the investigational new drug candidate stage and have not yet been approved for commercial use in any jurisdiction. Jyong Biotech will comply with applicable regulatory disclosure obligations and provide timely, accurate, and complete updates on significant progress.

Company Profile: Jyong Biotech Ltd., headquartered in Taiwan, is a science-driven biotechnology company dedicated to the research, development, and commercialization of innovative and differentiated novel drugs (of plant origin), with a primary focus on the treatment of urinary system disorders, initially targeting the markets in the United States, the European Union, and Asia. Since its establishment in 2002, the company has developed comprehensive capabilities encompassing all critical stages of drug development, including early-stage drug discovery and development, pharmacology, toxicology, clinical trials, regulatory affairs, manufacturing, and commercialization. Leveraging robust R&D capabilities and proprietary platforms, the company has developed a portfolio of plant-derived candidate drugs, including its lead plant-based candidate Botreso®, another plant-based candidate drug in clinical development, and several other plant-based candidates in preclinical stages. The company is committed to developing and delivering cutting-edge innovative therapeutics to address customer health needs and strives to become a respected and valuable enterprise.
