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?

A closer look at the opening price, early sale estimates and what determines the outcome at expiry.
Canada, 11th Nov 2026, Grand Newswire –
The most useful part of HiBT’s Event Contracts appears after the order is placed. On eligible positions, the app lets the holder see an estimate for selling before expiry. That can be useful when a Bitcoin move starts to reverse with time still left on the contract. The limitation is easy to miss: the estimate tells the holder what an early exit might return at that moment, and it may be less than the amount they put in.
The easiest way to misread the position screen is to treat its two USDT amounts as interchangeable. The potential payout describes what the contract may pay if the selected outcome is correct at expiry. The early sale estimate describes what closing the position could return before expiry. A trader can be right about the direction so far and still face a choice between accepting the amount currently available and waiting for a settlement that has yet to be determined.
The order screen is easy to read
A HiBT Event Contract takes a view on whether a selected price index will finish above or below its opening level at a specified expiry. The contract guide describes the two directions as Call and Put. A Call expresses a view that the index will finish higher; a Put expresses a view that it will finish lower. The order screen shows the duration, the amount committed and the potential payout.
The opening level is the number against which the expiry price is judged. It matters more to the result than the day’s opening price or any other price a trader happens to be following. Someone can correctly say that Bitcoin is up on the day and still have a losing Call if the index finishes below the opening level of that particular contract.
The opening price takes a closer look
HiBT’s execution notice says the exchange introduced a one-second delay between submission and execution on April 13, 2026. Under the published rule, the index at execution determines the opening price. The price visible when the user taps to submit is a reference figure and can differ from the price ultimately recorded on the order.
During a fast price move, even that short interval can change the reference level the contract must finish above or below. The recorded opening price is the figure that matters at settlement.
Early selling is the useful difference
The exchange’s more recent trading guide describes early selling as an available exit route. In the app, the option is labeled Sell Event Position. When it is available on an open contract, the confirmation screen shows estimated proceeds. That amount can change as the underlying price moves and the time left on the contract decreases.
A trader might look at the estimate after the market has moved in the expected direction. There is still a reason to look again if the market turns: the original view may no longer hold, and the amount available for an early sale may have changed as well. A changing estimate is useful precisely because it can be checked against the original amount. It also means a figure seen earlier should not be treated as the proceeds of a sale that has yet to happen.
The order amount is a useful comparison. If the sale proceeds exceed what the trader put in, a completed sale can realize a gain. If the proceeds are smaller, it can realize a loss. The price direction alone does not tell the trader which of those cases applies. What matters for that calculation is the amount actually received on the sale.
What the settlement record shows
For a contract held to expiry, the closing index is compared with the recorded opening level under the applicable rules. The market may have crossed that level several times during the contract. Those crossings explain why someone might have reconsidered the position, but they are not the settlement result. The opening price, expiry time and closing price are the figures that let the trader reconstruct the outcome afterward.
For a contract sold early, the relevant record is the completed sale. A subsequent move that would have favored the trader does not add to the proceeds. Nor does a later reversal reopen the position. Keeping those two records separate makes it possible to understand an outcome even when the closing price on a chart looks at odds with the amount received.
Recognition at the Global Onchain Awards
In October 2026, HiBT was named Best Global Event Contracts Exchange at the Global Onchain Awards, held during the Global Onchain Summit in Singapore. The organizer’s winners announcement reported more than 100 nominations across over 20 categories for the awards program as a whole. Those totals describe the program, rather than nominations or votes received by HiBT.

The published judging criteria covered market coverage, contract variety and the reliability of market resolution. The award was for the Event Contracts offering as a whole.
HiBT also offers an Event Contracts API for approved external platforms. The API serves a separate purpose from early selling: it lets approved partners connect their own systems to the product. For individual traders, the more immediate change is on the position screen, where an eligible contract can be closed before settlement.
The trade off on short contracts
The clearest part of the design is the choice at entry. A direction, a duration and a conditional payout give the order a defined shape. The early sale estimate adds a decision that makes sense for a short contract: if the trader has changed their mind, they can see what leaving would mean in USDT. That is more useful than seeing a countdown alone.
The harder part is keeping track of which number belongs to which moment. The index when the order executes can differ from the one visible at submission. The early sale estimate can change while the contract is open. The potential payout stays conditional until the outcome is known. A glance at the underlying chart cannot substitute for the order record, and a favorable move cannot tell someone how much an exit would return.
Early selling gives the holder a way to act on a change of view. How useful it is depends on whether the option is available on the position and what the sale would return. For a contract with little time left, those details matter more than the direction of the last price move.
On mobile, that decision happens on the open position screen. The iPhone app for the HiBT platform is listed as Global HibtHub on the Apple App Store. HiBT’s Android app is available on Google Play.

Press Release
DHARIN Launches Lab Grown Diamond and Gemstone Fine Jewelry Collection for Everyday Wear
United States, 11th Nov 2026, Grand Newswire – Fine jewelry brand DHARIN today released its first collection. Designed for everyday wear, the collection centers on lab-grown diamonds and lab-created sapphire, emerald and ruby, and is now available through mydharin.com to customers in the United States and Europe.
DHARIN’s pieces sit between fashion jewelry and traditional fine jewelry. The brand holds that fine jewelry need not be reserved for engagements or formal occasions, and can instead become an everyday choice, much like a classic piece in a wardrobe. The collection follows fine jewelry standards in its materials and settings, while its design takes cues from the way fashion is worn: each piece can be worn alone or stacked.
This approach shapes the brand’s choice of materials. Lab-grown diamonds share the same crystal structure, refractive index and hardness as mined diamonds, and lab-created sapphires, emeralds and rubies share the same composition as their natural counterparts. The difference lies in origin: lab-grown stones require no mining, and their growth process is fully traceable.
DHARIN views lab-grown stones as part of a more considered approach to fine jewelry, in which value comes from design, craftsmanship and wear, not from rarity alone. The same budget can allow for a larger stone or a higher grade, bringing D color, high clarity diamonds into everyday jewelry. Design is also less constrained by the cost of rough material, leaving more room to explore cut, proportion and color. Lab-created colored gemstones offer consistent color, allowing pieces in the same shade to sit together in harmony.
DHARIN regards jewelry as something to be worn rather than an investment, and encourages customers to build a collection over time, in keeping with their own style and pace of life.
The first collection is built around earrings and extends to rings and bracelets. The lab-grown diamond pieces center on three four-prong solitaire stud earrings, ranging from a 1 carat total weight round brilliant cut to a marquise cut and a 4 carat total weight oval cut, all in D color. The colored gemstone pieces include halo stud earrings, a halo ring and a tennis bracelet, each offered in sapphire, emerald and ruby. The halo pieces use a low setting suited to everyday wear. The collection is offered in metals including rhodium-plated sterling silver, 18K gold vermeil and 14K gold.
Each DHARIN product page lists the stone type, carat weight and metal, with color and clarity grades included for diamond pieces. Every lab-grown diamond of 0.50 carat and above is accompanied by an individual grading report issued by the International Gemological Institute (IGI). IGI is an independent gemological laboratory, and DHARIN is not affiliated with IGI. All colored gemstones in the collection are laboratory-created and identified as such on each product page, and brand certificates can be provided upon request.
The name DHARIN, pronounced DAR-in, is derived from a Sanskrit root associated with holding or sustaining, and is similar in sound to the English word “darling.”

The brand’s founder previously worked in retail for international luxury and fashion brands and holds a diploma in the Coloured Gem Professional programme from Gubelin Academy.

Press Release
Rantizo (Nasdaq: RNTZ) Advances U.S. Production of Heavy-Lift Autonomous Drones After $258.8 Million Acquisition, Targets California’s $61.2 Billion Agricultural Market
Houston, Texas, USA, November 11th, 2026, FinanceWire
California’s Central Valley to serve as U.S. launch market for the Houston-built Harvest 100, a heavy-lift agricultural drone with more than 70% U.S. or allied parts designed to cover 500 acres per day; Rantizo holds master spray agreements with Nutrien and Helena
Rantizo (Nasdaq: RNTZ) (“Rantizo” or the “Company”), the Houston-headquartered builder of American-made heavy-lift autonomous drones, today announced plans to expand its agricultural drone services into California’s Central Valley, which will serve as the U.S. launch market for the Harvest 100, the Company’s U.S.-built heavy-lift agricultural drone. The announcement comes one month after Rantizo completed its $258.8 million transaction and began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker RNTZ.
The Harvest 100: American-Made Heavy Lift
Rantizo designs and builds its aircraft in Houston, Texas. Its flagship, the Harvest 100, is a heavy-lift, autonomous agricultural drone built in America with more than 70% U.S. or allied parts and designed for FAA and NDAA compliance. Each Harvest 100 is designed to cover 500 acres per day, and the platform is built to be BVLOS-capable and swarming-ready, with modular payloads that carry it from spraying and seeding into forestry applications.
Rantizo is an approved drone application provider under master spray agreements with Nutrien and Helena, two of the largest agricultural retailers in the United States, positioning the Company to serve their grower networks. Rantizo is also seeing strong grower interest heading into the upcoming season, with drone sales agreements in place, multiple successful field trials, and FAA certifications and operational authorizations in more than 15 states. Growers and ag retailers can hire a Rantizo field team by the job or by the season, or buy, lease or finance the aircraft and fly it themselves, with pilot training available.
“America needs American drones, and we are building them in Texas today,” said Marianne McInerney, President of Rantizo. “The acquisition and the new ticker were the starting line. Behind them is an American shop floor, an American-made heavy-lift aircraft, and master spray agreements with two of the country’s largest ag retailers. California is where the Harvest 100 launches: the most valuable farm economy in the country, served by an American drone. As foreign aircraft are priced and regulated out of this market, Rantizo intends to be the American name growers and ag retailers call first.”
Harvest 100 U.S. Launch Market: California’s Central Valley
Rantizo plans to bring its agricultural drone services to California’s Central Valley, beginning with four adjacent counties: Fresno, Tulare, Kings and Kern. California is the nation’s leading agricultural state, with $61.2 billion in farm and ranch cash receipts in 2024, more than 400 commodities and more than three-quarters of the country’s fruits and nuts, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
The corridor’s almonds, grapes, pistachios, citrus and vegetables are high-value specialty crops where precise, timely aerial application matters most, and where orchards, vineyards and wet or constrained ground can limit conventional equipment. Concentrating on four neighboring counties allows Rantizo to serve the region with mobile two-person crews and shared equipment rather than separate fixed operations.
The entry is phased and tied to contracted demand. Rantizo intends to work with experienced California license holders and its master spray agreement relationships with agricultural retailers to establish licensing, county registrations and channel partners, beginning operations with two drone pilot crews and scaling to as many as four crews across the corridor during the upcoming season as contracted acreage grows. The service business is also built as a direct sales channel for the Harvest 100: paid applications and field demonstrations introduce growers to the aircraft and build a pipeline for purchases, leases, pilot training and long-term service programs.
Federal Policy Is Shifting the Market to American-Built Drones
Federal policy has moved decisively toward domestic aircraft over the past 18 months. Executive Order 14307, “Unleashing American Drone Dominance,” directed federal agencies in June 2025 to prioritize U.S.-made drones. In December 2025, the Federal Communications Commission added foreign-made drones and critical drone components to its Covered List, barring new foreign models from equipment authorization unless exempted. And since September 3, 2026, imported unmanned aircraft with a maximum take-off weight above 25 kilograms face Section 232 tariffs of up to 100% under Presidential Proclamation 11055.
The market those rules protect is growing fast. The Federal Aviation Administration forecasts that the active U.S. fleet of large drones, those over 55 pounds, will grow from 8,295 aircraft in 2025 to 55,509 by 2030. The Harvest 100 is built for exactly that weight class.
Built on the $258.8 Million Transaction
Rantizo’s public listing was established in October 2026, when the Company completed its approximately $258.8 million acquisition of the drone assets of Houston-based Rantizo, Inc. and adopted the Rantizo name. Rantizo, Inc. received 51,966,591 newly issued Class A ordinary shares and held approximately 87% of the Company’s Class A shares following the closing, and those shares are subject to a six-month lock-up. The Company’s shares have traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market as RNTZ since October 13, 2026.
The Rantizo name has been field-proven since 2018, when it was founded in Iowa City as a pioneer of agricultural drone spraying. The Company is led by President Marianne McInerney, a former U.S. Department of Transportation official.
Rantizo expects to provide further updates on its California launch, commercial orders, production and deliveries as they are finalized.
Global Communications and Partnerships
Phoenix MGMT & Consulting has transitioned with the Company from SKK Holdings to Rantizo and continues to support its overall growth and global expansion, leading global communications, public relations and global partnership development. Phoenix’s work includes introducing Rantizo to prospective supply, manufacturing and technology partners across the drone, defense and advanced-materials sectors.
About Rantizo
Rantizo (Nasdaq: RNTZ), headquartered in Houston, Texas, designs and builds heavy-lift autonomous drones in the United States for precision agriculture, forestry and wildfire response, infrastructure inspection and specialized government applications. Its platform includes the U.S.-built Harvest 100 agricultural drone, the Titan firefighting and forestry drone and a long-range fixed-wing surveillance prototype, supported by field services and by purchase, lease and financing options.
