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?

Inside NEXTMonitor: How NEXTRouter Turns Sensing into Action

Published

4 hours ago

on

June 2, 2026

By

Shortly after NEXTBank launched NEXTMonitor, its global situational awareness system, we sat down with the product team to better understand what makes the system tick. This is a curated summary of that conversation – focusing on three core themes: why NEXTMonitor is more than an aggregator, how NEXTRouter powers its intelligence, and what the combined system means for enterprise users.

“Aggregation is table stakes. Correlation is the real value.”

The team started with a blunt observation. There is no shortage of news dashboards and financial screens. A treasury manager can already see headlines, prices, and charts. But seeing is not understanding. The missing piece is the connection between events.

“A port strike is not just a news item,” one product lead explained. “It affects shipping routes, commodity prices, and local currency stability. A human would need to open six different tabs and spend twenty minutes connecting the dots. NEXTMonitor does it in under a second.”

That ability – cross‑dimensional event correlation – relies on NEXTRouter’s graph neural network models. When a user looks at a breaking alert, the system automatically pulls in live camera feeds from the relevant location, real‑time exchange rate data, and historical risk patterns. It then visualises everything on a single map. The user does not search; the system presents.

The “Model Router” That Never Sleeps

The team repeatedly emphasised one point: NEXTMonitor itself is not an AI model. It is an application that calls models – and the calling is handled entirely by NEXTRouter.

NEXTRouter aggregates over 300 models, from general‑purpose large language models to specialised tools for time‑series forecasting, image recognition, and graph analysis. When NEXTMonitor needs to assess port congestion from a live camera, NEXTRouter picks the best image model for that task. When it needs to project 48‑hour exchange rate volatility, it picks a forecasting model. When a user asks BonBon (NEXTBank’s AI agent) a follow‑up question, NEXTRouter selects the most suitable dialogue model on the fly.

This architecture gives NEXTMonitor a powerful feature: automatic upgrades. As new, better models are released, NEXTRouter can swap them in seamlessly. The user sees no change except that the system becomes smarter. “We don’t tell our customers to update their software,” the team noted. “We just make NEXTMonitor better overnight.”

From Sensing to Action in Seconds

The most compelling part of the briefing was the walkthrough of a real‑world scenario. Imagine you are a logistics manager monitoring Southeast Asia. NEXTMonitor detects a sudden labour action at a major port. Instantly, the system shows the live camera feed (congestion visible), the local currency’s real‑time decline, and a risk projection: 72% chance of further disruption in the next 24 hours.

You then ask BonBon: “Should I reroute my shipments?” BonBon, powered by NEXTRouter, analyses your current shipping routes and suggests specific alternatives. If you agree, you can execute the change – and the related cross‑border payments – directly on NEXTBank’s payment network. The entire loop, from sensing to advice to action, takes seconds, not hours.

That seamless integration is not accidental. NEXTMonitor, BonBon, and NEXTBank’s payment rails are built on the same NEXTRouter backbone. The system also connects to NEXTShot, an AIGC platform that can automatically generate a briefing video or a one‑page report for your team. Whether you need to act, consult, or communicate, the tools are already there.

What Enterprises Should Know

The team highlighted three practical takeaways for potential enterprise users. First, NEXTMonitor is not a replacement for Bloomberg or Reuters – it is a layer above them, adding correlation and prediction. Second, the system is designed for non‑technical users. Natural language queries to BonBon mean you do not need to learn a new query language. Third, because NEXTRouter handles model selection, you never have to worry about which AI model is “best” for a given task – the system decides in real time.

Pricing and availability: NEXTMonitor is now available to NEXTBank enterprise and premium users. Additional features, including deeper predictive analytics and more camera integrations, are scheduled for the coming months.

The Bigger Picture

According to the team, NEXTMonitor and NEXTRouter are not standalone products – they are the first visible expressions of a much larger strategy. NEXTBank has publicly outlined three strategic pillars: AI Agent economy, computing finance, and intelligent payment. NEXTRouter serves as the computing gateway for all three. NEXTMonitor provides the real‑world sensing layer.

“In five years, we don’t want to be known as a payment company,” the team concluded. “We want to be known as the operating system for intelligent finance. NEXTMonitor is the screen you look at. NEXTRouter is the engine you never see. Together, they make money smart.”

For now, that vision is taking shape – one correlated event, one predicted risk, and one intelligent payment at a time.

Beyond Payments: How NEXTBank’s Dual‑Core “Sensing + Computing” Strategy Is Redefining Global Finance

Published

4 hours ago

on

June 2, 2026

By

For years, the crypto payment industry has competed on speed and cost. NEXTBank delivered on those fronts. But with the launch of NEXTMonitor, a real‑time global situational awareness system, the company is making a bolder statement: the future of finance is not just moving money, but moving money with intelligence.

At the heart of this shift are two symbiotic products: NEXTMonitor, the “sensory organ” that captures global events, and NEXTRouter, the “computing brain” that makes sense of them. Together, they form a dual‑core engine of sensing and computing – an architecture that could transform a payment network into a full‑stack financial operating system.

From Information Overload to Actionable Insight

The problem NEXTMonitor solves is simple. Decision‑makers have access to more information than ever, yet critical signals are buried under noise. A port strike in Asia, a currency swing in Latin America, a regulatory leak in Europe – by the time a manager connects the dots, the opportunity or loss has already passed.

NEXTMonitor tackles this by integrating 93 news sources, live market data, and 27 real‑world camera feeds onto a single dynamic map. But the real differentiator is not aggregation – it is correlation. Powered by NEXTRouter’s ability to call over 300 AI models (from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and others), NEXTMonitor automatically links a news event with a live camera view of a congested port, a real‑time exchange rate chart, and historical risk patterns. A user no longer has to ask “what does this mean?” – the system shows them.

The Unseen Engine: NEXTRouter as a Computing Hub

If NEXTMonitor is the face of NEXTBank’s new direction, NEXTRouter is its invisible foundation. NEXTRouter is an AI model gateway and orchestration layer that aggregates hundreds of large and specialised models. When NEXTMonitor needs to extract event locations, the router calls a natural‑language model. When it needs to predict 48‑hour exchange rate volatility, it calls a time‑series forecasting model. When a user asks BonBon (NEXTBank’s AI agent) a natural language question, NEXTRouter selects the best dialogue model on the fly.

This architecture gives NEXTBank a critical advantage: continuous evolution. As better models emerge, NEXTRouter can swap them in seamlessly. NEXTMonitor becomes smarter without a single line of code change. In an industry where AI capabilities double every few months, that is a strategic moat.

Completing the Loop: Sensing, Agent, and Action

What truly elevates the system is integration with NEXTBank’s broader ecosystem. A risk alert generated by NEXTMonitor can be sent instantly to BonBon, which provides mitigation advice – for example, “suggest delaying shipments to this port” or “consider locking in exchange rates.” If the user needs to share that analysis with a team or client, NEXTShot (NEXTBank’s AIGC platform) can automatically produce a briefing video or a one‑page report. The entire journey – from sensing to advice to output – runs on the same NEXTRouter backbone.

This closes a loop that traditional payment networks have never attempted. Users no longer toggle between Bloomberg, a risk dashboard, a chat tool, and a payment interface. They perceive, decide, and act on one platform. And when they act – for instance, making a cross‑border payment to avoid looming capital controls – that transaction rides on NEXTBank’s original payment rail. Sensing and payment, finally unified.

Why It Matters

For the crypto industry, NEXTBank’s move signals a maturation. The first wave of blockchain payments solved trust and settlement speed. The second wave is adding context – the ability to understand why a payment should be made, when, and in what currency. NEXTBank is building an “intent‑based” financial layer: the user expresses an intent (“I want to move funds safely given current risks”), and the system figures out the optimal execution path.

For enterprise treasuries and logistics firms, the value is clear. In a world of fragmented supply chains and volatile currencies, a real‑time intelligence layer directly connected to execution is not a luxury – it is a necessity. NEXTMonitor and NEXTRouter offer exactly that.

Looking Forward

NEXTBank has stated three strategic pillars: AI Agent economy, computing finance, and intelligent payment. NEXTRouter will serve as the computing gateway for billions of autonomous agents. It will also underpin the tokenisation and trading of computing power – a novel asset class. And with NEXTMonitor providing situational awareness, the vision of “intent‑as‑payment” comes closer to reality.

NEXTBank is no longer just a payment network. It is becoming the operating system for intelligent finance – where every dollar moved knows where it is going, why, and how to get there safely. That is a story worth watching.

SoftestLayer Announces Comfort-Focused Bra Collection Designed for Wireless Support and Everyday Wear

Published

on

June 2, 2026

By

The women’s bra brand highlights wireless construction, flexible fabrics, back-smoothing coverage, and everyday comfort across selected styles.

WEST PEORIA, IL , June 2, 2026 — SoftestLayer, a women’s bra brand focused on everyday comfort and supportive design, today announced the availability of its bra collection for adult women seeking a softer alternative to traditional bras. The collection brings together wireless support, gentle shaping, back-smoothing coverage, support-focused construction, and stretchy fabrics designed for daily wear.

“SoftestLayer was created for women who want everyday bras that feel softer, smoother, and easier to wear. The collection focuses on wireless construction, flexible fabrics, and practical support details for daily routines,” said a SoftestLayer spokesperson. 

Many women want more from an everyday bra than basic coverage. Traditional bras may provide shaping or lift, but they can also feel stiff, restrictive, or uncomfortable after hours of wear. Underwires may dig into the body, narrow straps can create shoulder pressure, and limited back coverage may leave visible lines under clothing. SoftestLayer was created to address these common concerns with bras designed to feel soft against the skin while offering wireless support, smoother coverage, and a flexible everyday fit.

SoftestLayer’s product range includes wireless shaping bras, posture-support bras, minimizer bras, and front-closure styles, giving customers multiple options based on their personal comfort needs, body shape, and wardrobe preferences. Across selected designs, the brand focuses on flexible construction, breathable materials, smooth finishes, and supportive details that help women feel more comfortable throughout the day.

One of the brand’s key design focuses is wire-free shaping. Selected SoftestLayer styles are made to help shape the bust without relying on traditional underwire pressure. The SoftestLayer Wireless Shaping Bra, for example, includes adjustable straps and a flexible fit intended to provide gentle lift while remaining lightweight for everyday wear.

Back and side smoothing are also central to the SoftestLayer collection. Rather than using stiff compression, selected designs use wider coverage areas, flexible bands, and smooth back structures to help create a cleaner silhouette under clothes. These design details are intended to reduce the appearance of visible lines around the back and sides and provide a smoother look under everyday clothing.

For women looking for additional structure, SoftestLayer also offers posture-supportive designs. The SoftestLayer Unlined Back Support Bra features a wire-free structure, front closure, wide straps, and back-support construction intended to encourage a more supported feel during everyday wear. The design is made to help distribute pressure more comfortably while offering smoother coverage across the back and underarm area.

Comfort remains the foundation of the brand’s positioning. SoftestLayer’s designs emphasize soft, stretchy, and breathable materials that move with the body rather than feeling rigid or restrictive. Selected styles use nylon-spandex blends described by the brand as breathable, soft, and lightweight for daily wear. This focus on stretch and softness is intended to make the bras suitable for long workdays, casual outings, travel, and relaxed home wear.

In addition to wireless shaping and posture support, SoftestLayer offers designs for different fit preferences. The Smooth Light Minimizer Bra is designed for women seeking a more balanced bust appearance and a smoother look under clothing. The Cotton Front-Closure Bra is created for women who prefer easier wear, front-fastening convenience, and everyday support. Together, these options provide customers with multiple style choices based on lift, smoothing, coverage, closure type, and comfort preferences.

SoftestLayer bras are available through the brand’s official website, where customers can explore different bra styles based on their preferred support needs, including wireless shaping, posture support, minimizer coverage, front-closure convenience, and back-smoothing designs. Product pages provide detailed information such as available color and size selections, sizing charts, product features, fabric and fit descriptions, and checkout options. 

According to the website, shipping costs are calculated based on the destination and number of items purchased, while selected product pages note an estimated 9–14 business day shipping window after order processing. Customers can also contact SoftestLayer through the support email and phone number listed on the website, with the contact page stating a response time of 24–48 hours Monday through Friday.

With its focus on wireless construction, flexible fabrics, back-smoothing coverage, and everyday wearability, SoftestLayer aims to offer bra options for women seeking comfort-focused support.
