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?

Bloger.fm Organises Daily AI Announcements by Company and Product

Published

on

Bloger.fm, an independent daily AI briefing, files public AI announcements under the organisations and products they concern, so readers can follow one company or scan the whole field in minutes through daily briefings and entity pages.

United States, 5th Oct 2026, Grand Newswire – SAN FRANCISCO, October 4, 2026 — Bloger.fm is a daily AI briefing that groups each day’s announcements by the companies and products behind them. The independent publication reads a monitored feed of public AI announcements, including model releases, product launches and research, and files each item under the organisation and product it concerns. A day’s news reads as a set of company briefings rather than one long timeline, so readers can find what changed at the companies they follow in minutes.

“AI news arrives as a stream, but readers think in companies,” said Andy, founder of Bloger.fm. “We file every day by organisation and product, so you can follow one company closely or scan the whole field in a single sitting.”

One Match, Two Ways to Read

Bloger.fm matches each item against a hand-maintained dictionary of organisations, products and standards. The same match builds both of its views. A daily briefing groups one day’s items into company sections, and an entity page for every tracked organisation, product or standard collects everything recorded about it across a rolling coverage window.

A reader who follows a single company, such as OpenAI or Google, can start from its entity page. A reader who wants the whole field can open a day’s briefing. Entity pages link to official channels, and an RSS feed is available for those who prefer to read in their own reader.

Items keep their original wording, and the briefing is organised by the site’s published editorial policy, which covers how items are matched, ordered and corrected.

Independent by Design

Bloger.fm carries no advertising and takes no sponsorship. It has no commercial relationship with any company it covers, and no company can influence what appears in a briefing or how it is ordered. Briefings are published under the Bloger.fm Editorial Desk.

About Bloger.fm

The Boston-based investment manager continues to strengthen its investment research framework, quantitative capabilities and professional education activities while maintaining an emphasis on independent judgment and disciplined risk management.

United States, 5th Oct 2026 – Investment managers are increasingly examining how fundamental research, quantitative methods and professional knowledge can work together as financial markets become more interconnected and data-intensive.

The expansion forms part of the firm’s longer-term business plans and is intended to provide additional support across investment research, quantitative research and professional education activities.

The expansion of the team is also expected to support the firm’s professional education and knowledge-exchange activities. These initiatives are focused on investment research, quantitative methods and market analysis for professional and research-oriented audiences.

Any investment services and related activities remain subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, client eligibility criteria, contractual terms and relevant legal requirements.

Published

on

Moshi, Tanzania, October 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

The initiative with Kijana Kwanza furnishes seven family-style homes for up to 250 beneficiaries in Tanzania.

STARCARES, the CSR initiative of STARTRADER, has partnered with Kijana Kwanza in Tanzania to equip seven new foster homes for up to 250 beneficiaries. By turning newly built housing into safe, functional homes, the initiative supports the stability children need to continue their education and move towards greater independence.

STARCARES has provided beds, mattresses, bedding, wardrobes, cooking stoves, dining tables and chairs, enabling the homes to function from day one. The support forms part of its Where Tomorrow STARs Begin programme, focused on education, youth development and long-term opportunity.

The Tanzania initiative builds on STARCARES’ work in Nigeria, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines, reaching more communities where young people need safer spaces, greater care and stronger opportunities.

Guided by its principle, “Bringing STAR, Delivering CARE,” STARCARES continues expanding its reach where support is needed most, turning essential needs into stronger foundations for young people to live, learn and move forward with confidence.
