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?

Press Release

Giggso Introduces Raven, Andie, and AIRTaaS to Help Enterprises Bring Discipline, Reasoning, and Security to AI Adoption

Published

1 hour ago

on

May 26, 2026

By

TROY, Mich., May 26th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Enterprises are moving faster with AI than ever before. But many are also quietly losing comprehension of the systems they are building.

Engineering teams now generate code, workflows, automations, and AI-driven decisions at unprecedented speed using tools like Claude, Codex, Cursor, and enterprise copilots. While productivity has increased, organizations are also experiencing a new operational challenge: more meetings, fragmented workflows, inconsistent outputs, security concerns, architecture drift, and growing difficulty understanding how systems actually work together.

Giggso calls this problem “comprehension debt” — the growing gap between AI-generated velocity and organizational understanding.

Today, Giggso announced Raven, Andie, and AIRTaaS, three offerings designed to help enterprises reduce comprehension debt and bring discipline, reasoning, and continuous security testing into AI adoption at scale.

Together, the offerings form the front door into GSD (Giggso Security Domain), Giggso’s broader architecture for governing, securing, and operationalizing enterprise AI systems.

“At a small scale, AI feels magical,” said Ravi Venugopal, Founder and CEO of Giggso. “At enterprise scale, it can quickly become operational chaos. Teams move faster, but understanding drops. Meetings increase. Ownership blurs. AI starts producing more than organizations can realistically comprehend or govern. That is the problem we are solving.”

At the center of the announcement is Raven, Giggso’s discipline layer for AI-assisted software development.

Raven is designed to help organizations enforce engineering discipline inside AI-driven development workflows before problems reach production. Rather than acting as a traditional code scanner after development is complete, Raven introduces governance, architecture awareness, policy enforcement, and review controls directly into AI-assisted coding environments.

The platform helps organizations identify risks such as:

  • architecture drift
  • unapproved libraries
  • exposed secrets
  • policy violations
  • insecure dependencies
  • undocumented AI-generated logic
  • uncontrolled AI usage patterns

The goal is not to slow development, but to preserve organizational understanding as teams move at AI speed.

“AI can now generate code faster than teams can comprehend it,” Ravi said. “Without discipline, enterprises accumulate technical debt, security exposure, and operational confusion at machine speed. Raven helps organizations preserve engineering quality and architectural understanding while still moving fast.”

Giggso also introduced Andie, a structured reasoning engine designed to help enterprises improve contextual thinking and operational decision-making across teams.

Unlike traditional chatbot-style AI interfaces that generate isolated answers, Andie is designed to help organizations reason through problems with context, constraints, and multiple perspectives in mind. The platform is intended to support operational workflows across delivery, strategy, planning, support, and execution environments.

Giggso believes one of the biggest failures in enterprise AI adoption is not a lack of intelligence, but a loss of shared understanding.

“Most organizations do not need another chatbot,” Ravi said. “They need systems that help teams think more clearly together. AI should reduce confusion, not multiply it. Andie is designed to strengthen organizational reasoning, preserve context, and reduce the fragmentation that happens when every team operates with disconnected AI outputs.”

To address the growing security risks around enterprise AI adoption, Giggso is also expanding AIRTaaS, its AI Red Teaming as a Service platform.

As enterprises deploy AI agents, copilots, retrieval systems, and autonomous workflows into production, traditional security testing approaches are increasingly insufficient. AI systems can fail through prompt injection, hallucinations, role-boundary violations, tool misuse, unsafe autonomy, data leakage, and adversarial manipulation.

AIRTaaS continuously stress-tests AI systems against these real-world failure scenarios before they become operational incidents.

The platform combines:

  • AI red teaming
  • observability
  • governance workflows
  • incident tracking
  • remediation guidance
  • human-led adversarial testing

To strengthen its execution capabilities, Giggso has partnered with Seiance India, a woman-owned AI security startup based in Chennai, India, whose product, Trinity, is an AI security and observability platform.

“AIRTaaS turns AI security into an operational discipline instead of a compliance checkbox,” said Abhinaya, CEO of Seiance India P Ltd.
“Enterprises need continuous stress testing because AI systems are constantly evolving. Our focus is helping organizations identify weaknesses early, validate resilience continuously, and improve trust in production AI systems.”

Giggso also announced that portions of AIRTaaS and related tooling will be free for Individual Developers, while core Enterprise developer-focused red teaming capabilities will be low-cost and easy to certify for teams.

The company said the decision reflects a growing concern about “AI washing” — where organizations overstate AI capabilities without sufficient operational rigor — and the rise of “AI slop,” low-quality AI-generated outputs that appear acceptable on the surface but fail under real operational conditions.

“We believe AI adoption needs more honesty, more discipline, and far more operational accountability,” Ravi said. “The future belongs to organizations that can scale AI without losing security, comprehension, governance, and trust in the process.”

Raven, Andie, and AIRTaaS are part of GSD (Giggso Security Domain), Giggso’s enterprise architecture for governing AI systems, coding workflows, observability, orchestration, reasoning, and AI operational security across the enterprise.

Caladan Launches API Liquidity: Institutional Access to Aggregated Digital Asset Liquidity Across 100+ Tokens

Published

May 26, 2026

By

Singapore, May 26th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Institutional counterparties can now access executable streaming prices and RFQ liquidity for spot and perpetuals on 100+ digital assets through the Caladan API, launched today by Caladan, the largest Asia-headquartered market maker for digital assets.

Built on nearly a decade of active trading, Caladan continuously aggregates pricing and depth from 20+ on-chain protocols, 47+ centralised exchange integrations, and bilateral relationships. The result is a single pricing feed that delivers tighter spreads, higher fill rates, and full depth on long-tail tokens.

“Fragmentation is the defining liquidity challenge in digital assets today. A single exchange, a single counterparty, or a single OTC desk will always have an incomplete view of price and depth. We have spent nine years building the infrastructure to see the whole market simultaneously, and API Liquidity makes that infrastructure available to institutional participants through a single API connection.” – John Gu, CEO, Caladan

Why aggregation produces better pricing

Digital asset liquidity is highly fragmented across centralised exchanges, decentralised protocols, regional venues, bilateral broker-dealers, and OTC desks. Caladan’s sourcing model is the commercial differentiator. The firm facilitates over $170 billion in annual trading volume across more than 100 assets, which means its pricing engine is continuously calibrated against a wider range of market signals. The more heterogeneous the sourcing — on-chain, off-chain, bilateral, and platform-routed simultaneously — the tighter the spread and the deeper the available size at any given price point.

The broadest token coverage of any market maker

API Liquidity provides access to the top 100 tokens — the widest token coverage available from any market maker globally. Coverage spans spot and perpetuals.

For institutional participants managing diversified digital asset portfolios or building crypto-embedded products, this breadth eliminates the need to maintain multiple liquidity provider relationships to cover the full token universe.

Flexible connectivity and settlement

API Liquidity is designed for immediate integration with minimal development overhead. Counterparties can connect through the channel that fits their existing workflow:

  • Direct API: Native FIX connectivity (4.2, 4.4, 5.0) for firms that prefer a direct bilateral connection

  • Platform partners: Desks already connected to Talos, Finery Markets, or CrossX can access Caladan liquidity with no additional integration work

Settlement is handled through institutional partners, with options for fiat and stablecoins:

  • Hidden Road and BitGo Go Network for custodial settlement

  • Customers Bank CUBIX for fiat settlement in USD

  • USDT and USDC settlement available directly

Competitive credit and margin terms are available for qualifying counterparties. Fiat currency pairs including EUR and JPY are in development, with additional currencies in the pipeline.

About Caladan

Caladan is Asia’s largest digital asset market maker, headquartered in Singapore with teams across seven global offices. Since 2017, Caladan has facilitated over $170 billion in annual trading volume, operating across 65+ exchanges worldwide. The firm provides market-making, OTC trading, DeFi expertise, and investments to institutional participants globally.
