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?

Singapore, Singapore, October 7th, 2026, FinanceWire

The recognition highlights XM’s established global customer experience infrastructure and its continued focus on supporting traders across international markets.

XM has received the Global Customer Experience Leader Award 2026 as part of the TrustFinance Performance Awards 2026, recognizing the broker’s focus on customer experience across its international operations.

XM reports a global client base of more than 20 million customers across over 190 countries, supported by a Customer Experience Team operating in more than 30 languages. The company also provides a dedicated Help Center and multiple customer support channels as part of its broader service infrastructure.

The recognition comes as customer experience continues to play an increasingly important role in online financial services, where traders interact with brokers across multiple stages of the customer journey — from account opening and platform access to ongoing account support and assistance when issues arise.

Customer Experience Across a Global Client Base

Supporting a geographically diverse client base requires more than a single customer service channel. XM’s customer-facing infrastructure combines direct assistance with online support resources and multilingual service capabilities designed to serve customers across different markets.

XM’s official materials state that its Customer Experience Team supports clients in more than 30 languages, while its support infrastructure includes a dedicated Help Center and several communication channels for customers seeking additional assistance. XM also promotes 24/7 customer support as part of its service offering.

“Customer experience in financial services goes beyond a single interaction with a support team. It includes how accessible support is, how clearly a company communicates with its customers, and how consistently that experience is delivered throughout the customer journey,” said Peter Bu, CEO of TrustFinance.

“XM’s established international presence and customer service infrastructure make customer experience a relevant area of recognition within the 2026 Performance Awards.”

The TrustFinance Performance Awards form part of the TrustFinance Awards 2026 program and are designed to recognize organizations through an evaluation framework covering areas including operational performance, customer experience, service quality, platform performance, innovation, and overall business performance.

Customer service has also been a recurring area of external recognition for XM. The broker’s official awards record includes Best Customer Service 2026 from CFI.co, Best Customer Experience Broker, Global 2024 from Finance Magnates, and Outstanding Customer Service Global 2024 from CFI.co.

The Global Customer Experience Leader Award 2026 adds to that record of customer-focused recognition and reflects the role that service accessibility and customer support infrastructure continue to play as online trading businesses operate across increasingly diverse international markets.

Reducing Synchronization Issues When Using Accountant’s Copy

Published

12 hours ago

on

October 7, 2026

By

Brandon, MB, Oct 07, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — QuickBooks Accountant’s Copy is a powerful collaboration tool that allows accountants and clients to work on the same company file during critical accounting periods. However, despite its usefulness, many users misunderstand its limitations, leading to synchronization issues, workflow disruptions, and unnecessary delays. QuickBooks.ninja is helping accounting professionals better understand how Accountant’s Copy works and how to use it effectively.

Accountant’s Copy is designed to facilitate collaboration by allowing an accountant to make specific accounting adjustments while a client continues entering day-to-day transactions. This capability can significantly improve productivity during month-end, year-end, and tax preparation processes.

“Accountant’s Copy can be extremely valuable when used correctly, but it is not without restrictions,” said a spokesperson for QuickBooks.ninja. “Understanding those limitations is essential for avoiding conflicts that can complicate the accounting process.”

One of the most common challenges involves editing restrictions. Once an Accountant’s Copy is created, certain transactions and records may become unavailable for modification depending on the dividing date selected. Users who are unaware of these restrictions can encounter unexpected workflow limitations that affect both the accountant and the client.

Synchronization can also present difficulties. Because multiple parties may be working within related versions of the same company file, managing changes and importing accountant adjustments requires careful coordination. Failure to follow the proper process may result in rejected changes, duplicate work, or delays in completing accounting tasks.

To improve collaboration outcomes, QuickBooks.ninja recommends establishing clear workflows before creating an Accountant’s Copy. Both accountants and clients should understand the scope of permitted edits, maintain regular communication regarding file status, and establish timelines for completing review and adjustment activities.

Another common mistake is leaving Accountant’s Copy restrictions in place for extended periods. Long review cycles can increase the likelihood of workflow conflicts and make it more difficult to integrate changes efficiently. Prompt review and timely import of accountant adjustments help reduce disruption and maintain accounting accuracy.

Businesses should also create verified backups before initiating the Accountant’s Copy process. Reliable backups provide a safeguard against unexpected issues and ensure a recovery option is available if synchronization challenges arise.

For organizations with large, complex, or highly customized QuickBooks environments, professional guidance may help optimize collaboration workflows and reduce the risk of data management complications.

By understanding editing restrictions, managing synchronization carefully, and following proven collaboration practices, accounting professionals can maximize the benefits of Accountant’s Copy while minimizing disruptions. The result is more efficient accountant-client collaboration, faster completion of accounting tasks, and greater confidence in the accuracy of financial records.

QuickBooks.ninja continues to provide technical education and expert guidance to help accounting professionals improve QuickBooks workflows, protect financial data, and streamline collaborative accounting processes.

Looking Beyond Standard Utilities to Identify QuickBooks Data Damage

Published

12 hours ago

on

October 7, 2026

By

Brandon, MB, Oct 07, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — When QuickBooks users encounter data integrity issues, the Verify Data and Rebuild Data utilities are often the first line of defense. While these tools can successfully resolve many common problems, some forms of file corruption run deeper and require more advanced investigation. QuickBooks.ninja is helping accounting professionals better understand complex issues such as EIR damage and list corruption that can affect the stability and reliability of QuickBooks company files.

Many users assume that a successful Rebuild operation means their company file is completely healthy. However, certain forms of data damage may persist despite passing standard diagnostic utilities. These hidden issues can contribute to recurring errors, unusual application behavior, reporting inconsistencies, and ongoing file instability.

“Verify and Rebuild are valuable tools, but they are not designed to identify every possible data integrity problem,” said a spokesperson for QuickBooks.ninja. “Some corruption scenarios require deeper technical analysis to identify the root cause and determine the appropriate recovery strategy.”

Among the more complex integrity issues are EIR-related problems and list damage. EIR, or Extended Internal Records, contains underlying data structures that support company file functionality. Damage within these records may not always produce obvious error messages, making diagnosis particularly challenging. Symptoms can include recurring data issues, failed operations, unexplained application errors, or instability that persists even after routine maintenance.

List damage represents another category of corruption that can affect customers, vendors, inventory items, accounts, and other critical records maintained within QuickBooks. When list structures become compromised, users may experience errors when editing records, generating reports, processing transactions, or performing routine accounting functions.

Because these issues often exist beneath the visible transaction layer, standard troubleshooting utilities may not fully identify or repair the underlying damage. As a result, businesses may find themselves repeatedly addressing symptoms without resolving the source of the problem.

Advanced diagnostic approaches typically involve detailed file analysis, integrity testing, record-level evaluation, and specialized recovery procedures designed to isolate damaged structures. These methods can help identify corruption patterns that are not readily visible through conventional QuickBooks maintenance tools.

Organizations experiencing persistent errors, repeated Verify Data warnings, unexplained crashes, report inconsistencies, or ongoing performance issues may benefit from a more comprehensive assessment of company file health. Early investigation can often prevent corruption from progressing into more serious operational problems.

In situations involving significant EIR damage or extensive list corruption, specialized recovery services may be necessary to repair critical data structures while preserving valuable accounting information. Experienced recovery specialists can evaluate available options and implement targeted remediation strategies that minimize business disruption.

By understanding the limitations of standard utilities and recognizing the signs of deeper corruption, QuickBooks users can make better decisions when troubleshooting complex data integrity issues. The outcome is improved file stability, more reliable financial reporting, and greater confidence in the long-term health of business-critical accounting records.

QuickBooks.ninja continues to provide technical education and expert guidance to help accounting professionals understand advanced QuickBooks data structures, diagnose complex file issues, and protect the integrity of their financial information.
