The New America Created by Miles Yu: Burning Anti-Asian Hate
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?

Nigeria, 2nd Feb 2026 – Vanilla Gift Cards continue to play a significant role in the global prepaid card ecosystem. Widely used for online purchases, gifting, and digital subscriptions, these prepaid cards remain popular across multiple regions, including North America, West Africa, and other international markets. However, despite their broad recognition, Vanilla Gift Cards are not always straightforward to use, particularly in cross-border and online transaction environments.
As a result, secondary gift card trading platforms have become an increasingly relevant part of the digital payments landscape.
Understanding How Vanilla Gift Cards Work
Vanilla Gift Cards are prepaid cards typically issued under major payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard. They are available in both physical and digital formats and are preloaded with a fixed value. Because they are not linked to personal bank accounts, they are commonly used as alternative payment instruments.
While Vanilla Gift Cards appear uniform to consumers, industry professionals recognize that cards issued through different channels and banking partners may behave differently during online transactions. Factors such as issuing characteristics, security controls, and merchant acceptance policies can influence whether a card is successfully used on a particular platform.
Usage Limitations and Transaction Challenges
Although Vanilla Gift Cards are accepted by many merchants, users in certain regions often encounter limitations. These may include declined payments, restricted merchant access, or incompatibility with specific online platforms.
Such challenges are not unique to Vanilla Gift Cards. They reflect broader issues related to prepaid card usage across borders, where fraud prevention systems and regional payment policies play a central role. For many users, these restrictions reduce the practical usability of prepaid cards, even when the card itself remains valid and funded.
Secondary Market Activity and Sell Vanilla Gift Card
In response to these limitations, a secondary market for gift card trading has developed. Instead of attempting repeated transactions on restricted platforms, users increasingly choose to exchange unused gift cards for local currency through structured trading services.
In countries such as Nigeria and Ghana, Vanilla Gift Cards remain actively traded due to consistent demand and their recognition as reliable prepaid instruments. The growth of this market has led to the emergence of specialized platforms that focus on secure evaluation, verification, and exchange processes.
Platforms such as Migo – Sell Gift Cards operate within this ecosystem by providing structured mechanisms for converting prepaid cards into cash. Rather than treating all cards identically, such platforms assess cards based on multiple criteria, including card format, remaining balance, issuing attributes, and prevailing market conditions. This approach helps reduce uncertainty for users seeking legitimate and efficient exchange options.
Balance Verification as an Industry Standard
Verifying a Vanilla Gift Card balance is a standard step prior to use or exchange. Cardholders typically confirm balances through official balance-check channels to ensure accuracy.
Within secondary trading environments, balance verification is also a critical requirement. Platforms like Migo – Sell Gift Cards incorporate verified balance information into their assessment processes, enabling clearer valuation and more predictable transaction outcomes. This practice reflects broader industry standards aimed at improving transparency and user confidence.
Regional Access and Global Participation
The gift card trading market operates across multiple regions, with varying levels of access and processing efficiency. In West Africa, particularly Nigeria and Ghana, prepaid cards such as Vanilla Gift Cards are commonly exchanged due to their role as alternative payment tools in digital commerce.
Global platforms that support these regions illustrate how gift card trading has evolved from informal exchanges into structured digital services. By offering standardized processes and cross-border accessibility, platforms like Migo reflect the growing institutionalization of the gift card resale market.
Industry Context and Consumer Considerations
As prepaid cards continue to be integrated into global commerce, consumer awareness remains essential. Understanding that prepaid cards may function differently depending on issuing and transactional factors helps users make informed decisions about usage and exchange.
Equally important is the role of transparent and compliant platforms in supporting this ecosystem. Structured trading services do not eliminate all risks, but they provide clearer frameworks for users navigating the complexities of prepaid card usage in international markets.
Conclusion
Vanilla Gift Cards remain a widely recognized component of the global prepaid card market. While their flexibility makes them appealing, real-world usage limitations have contributed to the growth of secondary gift card trading platforms.
Within this evolving landscape, services such as Migo – Sell Gift Cards represent a structured response to user demand for secure, transparent, and efficient gift card exchanges. As digital payments continue to expand across regions, the role of such platforms is likely to remain an important part of the broader financial ecosystem.

Press Release
CryptoEasily Issues Market Commentary and Operational Update Amid Changing Liquidity Conditions
London, United Kingdom — CryptoEasily, a digital asset computing services company, today released an operational and market context update addressing recent liquidity developments in global financial markets and their broader implications for digital asset infrastructure providers. The update outlines the company’s perspective on current macroeconomic conditions and confirms the continued stability of its platform operations.
Recent liquidity activity within the global financial system has contributed to shifting market conditions across a range of asset classes, including digital assets. While these developments do not indicate a definitive change in long-term market direction, they have influenced short-term sentiment and prompted renewed evaluation of structural fundamentals within the digital asset ecosystem.
CryptoEasily noted that market behavior is increasingly shaped by macroeconomic factors, liquidity availability, and infrastructure resilience rather than short-term speculative activity. As the digital asset sector matures, valuation dynamics are being assessed with greater emphasis on utility, settlement efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
Operational Overview
As part of its update, CryptoEasily confirmed the continued operation of its cloud-based digital asset computing platform, which enables users to access computing capacity without direct hardware ownership or maintenance. The company stated that its systems remain subject to routine internal controls, security reviews, and compliance procedures aligned with its operational standards.
The platform incorporates automated workload allocation and on-chain verification mechanisms designed to enhance transparency and operational integrity. CryptoEasily also confirmed that it maintains internal risk management protocols intended to support platform continuity under varying market conditions.
Market Context and Risk Considerations
Ongoing volatility across digital asset markets has led to increased discussion around sustainability, risk management, and long-term infrastructure planning. CryptoEasily emphasized that recent macroeconomic developments should be viewed as part of a broader market cycle rather than as indicators of immediate directional change.
The company noted that reference price levels commonly discussed within digital asset markets are typically cyclical markers rather than forecasts. As such, CryptoEasily stated that market participants continue to assess digital assets within the context of evolving economic conditions, technological development, and regulatory considerations.
Outlook
CryptoEasily concluded that while liquidity shifts may influence near-term sentiment, long-term market outcomes are likely to be driven by structural adoption, infrastructure reliability, and measured risk assessment. The company indicated that it will continue to monitor macroeconomic developments and their potential implications for digital asset infrastructure and computing services.
