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?

AlloX Launches AI-Powered Investment Platform with $25,000 USDT Prize Pool for Early Participants

Published

on

British Virgin Islands, 27th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, AlloX is an AI-powered capital allocation platform recently launched and designed to help investors build diversified, risk-managed portfolios in the narrative-driven crypto market. It leverages artificial intelligence and automation to bridge TradFi and DeFi, enabling clear, transparent capital allocation.

AlloX is building the much-needed AI-driven allocation layer that crypto users can harness to invest in the narratives that drive the market, not in temporarily popular tokens. The platform soft-launched on February 23, and in only three days, it recorded over 3.8 million transactions, totaling over $123 million in volume and $751.3K in on-chain value from more than 84,700 connected wallets.

 

The crypto market has evolved into a standalone financial ecosystem where narrative drives liquidity allocation, transferring capital across multiple themes, including AI, gaming, RWA, DeFi, memecoins, etc. Despite these visible movements, many investors still allocate capital manually, and often react emotionally to volatility.

AlloX aims to solve this issue by making capital allocation structured, disciplined, and intelligent. The platform combines the primary traits of TradFi, such as portfolio construction and risk management, with fundamental DeFi features, such as transparency, automation, and permissionless access, to create a unique and powerful tool.

AlloX simplifies crypto investing by removing emotional trading and manual complexity. The crypto market is renowned for its swift shifts in attention between narratives. Therefore, instead of picking tokens one by one, users choose a narrative. Its AI-driven engine constructs a diversified basket based on that theme. It then applies transparent weights, selects a risk tier, and automatically rebalances depending on market movements. The entire process takes place transparently on the chain, allowing the user’s capital to flow in an organized, intelligent, and scalable way.

AlloX uses AI to analyze essential market data, including liquidity shifts, volatility metrics, sector performance, asset correlations, and narrative acceleration. It then automatically allocates capital to relevant investment targets. Users maintain autonomy by defining the narrative while AI drives capital distribution.

AlloX integrates portfolio analytics, allowing users to track their capital in real time across structured insights, such as Total Balance, Total Invested, Current Value, Profit and Loss, and Positions Overview.

The platform uses a points system to reward active users who engage with it and drive long-term growth. For instance, users earn points through the Welcome Bonus, portfolio creation, staking, completing X-related tasks, and the daily bonus.

The AlloX Daily Bonus is a new way for users to earn points just by logging in daily and claiming rewards. High consistency allows users to accrue more points, which count toward future airdrop eligibility.

The AI-driven capital allocation is the portfolio layer that AlloX brings to DeFi. The platform plans to add new layers, such as optimization, which integrates staking and yield-generating opportunities into the broader allocation framework to strengthen the AlloX ecosystem and drive participation.

Participation is one of the primary engines of the AlloX ecosystem. The platform launched The Spring Series, a 3-season campaign with $25,00 rewards, focused on growth, activity, and competitive progression.

AlloX AI Spring Warm Up is the first chapter of the Spring Series. It is designed to reward early participants, active users, and builders within the AlloX ecosystem, with a $5,000 USDT prize pool. Anyone can participate by connecting their wallets to AlloX, claiming their Welcome Bonus, and starting to earn points by completing tasks and being consistently active on the platform. This chapter started on February 23rd and will end on March 9th.

Following the Spring Warm Up, the AlloX Spring Series continues with two additional chapters: Spring Acceleration, featuring an $8,000 USDT prize pool, and Spring Finale, with a $12,000 USDT prize pool.

Early participants in the AlloX Spring Series benefit from several perks, including the opportunity to build strong momentum heading into the Finale chapter. More importantly, early users get to become more familiar with the platform before it reaches peak activity.

About AlloX

AlloX bridges the TradFi discipline with DeFi infrastructure through an AI-powered capital allocation platform that drives investment based on rapidly shifting market narratives. The platform eliminates time-consuming tasks, such as manual allocation, and relies on transparency and logic rather than emotional attachments to help investors build structured, diversified portfolios.

AlloX is designed by an experienced team with a proven track record in DeFi, including over $150 million in capital throughput, more than $100 million in allocated assets, and $40M+ in on-chain rewards. The team has a community reach of over 175,000 users, interacting with over 87,000 wallets while harnessing global liquidity from 10+ top-tier crypto exchanges.

Join AlloX today and start claiming your daily bonus, gathering points, and participating in the AlloX AI Spring Campaign for a share of the $25,000 USDT prize pool.

SPL VPN Leverages AI to Eliminate Manual Server Selection; Surpasses 2 Million Downloads in Connectivity Pivot

Published

on

SINGAPORE, 27th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, SPL VPN, a leading provider of digital privacy solutions, today announced a major architectural transformation of its platform, integrating a proprietary AI-driven routing engine designed to eliminate the manual “server search” that has defined the VPN industry for over a decade. The update arrives as the company hits a significant growth milestone, surpassing 2 million global store downloads and maintaining a consistent user base of 500,000 daily active users.

Since its inception in 2018, SPL VPN has focused on the technical nuances of digital routing. This latest shift marks the retirement of traditional, manual server lists in favor of an intelligent, singular “Connect” protocol. By utilizing machine learning to handle complex routing decisions, SPL VPN is positioning itself as a “future-ready” utility in an increasingly automated digital landscape.

The Shift from Infrastructure to Intelligence

While the VPN industry has historically competed on “server counts,” SPL VPN is pivoting toward Zero-Touch Routing. The newly integrated AI engine performs real-time analysis of network congestion, local ISP throttling, and packet loss to construct a custom path for the user.

“The industry has spent years forcing users to navigate a paradox of choice, scrolling through thousands of servers to find a stable connection,” said the Head of Product at SPL. “We believe the future of the internet is an invisible, seamless layer. Our goal is to provide a utility that works efficiently before the user even realizes a connection bottleneck exists.”

Technical Milestones and Industry Impact

The ground-up architectural shift addresses three fundamental challenges in the legacy VPN market:

  • Zero-Touch Efficiency: The AI identifies the most efficient path based on traffic type—optimizing specifically for high-bandwidth activities like 4K streaming and low-latency gaming without user intervention.
  • Predictive Pathing: Unlike reactive services that wait for a connection to drop, SPL’s system anticipates node failures and reroutes traffic preemptively.
  • Adaptive User Experience (UX): A streamlined interface designed for a digital-first audience, removing technical clutter to decrease the time-to-connection.

Eight Years of Strategic Refinement

SPL VPN’s evolution from a traditional privacy tool to an AI-enhanced utility follows eight years of silent refinement and data analysis. By moving away from the “infrastructure race” and focusing on routing intelligence, the company is catering to a modern web where speed and usability are as critical as encryption.

The updated platform reflects SPL’s commitment to making military-grade security accessible to casual users and technical professionals alike. With over half a million daily users already utilizing the service, SPL is demonstrating that the next phase of digital privacy is rooted in automation and effortless connectivity.

About SPL VPN

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Singapore, SPL VPN is a global advocate for digital privacy and open-web access. By combining advanced encryption standards with cutting-edge AI research, SPL provides millions of users with a faster, safer, and more intuitive way to navigate the internet. With over 2 million downloads, SPL VPN continues to lead the shift toward intelligent, invisible security.

Faith, Family, and Leadership: How Brent Byng Grounds His Approach to Success

Published

on

Navarre, Florida, 27th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, In an era when organizations face constant disruption, shifting priorities, and growing demands on leaders, the most effective executives often draw strength from principles that extend beyond the workplace. For Brent Byng, a senior military leader and operations executive with more than 27 years of experience, faith, family, and service form the foundation of a leadership philosophy that has guided him through high-stakes environments, global responsibilities, and enterprise-scale operations.

Byng’s career spans joint special operations, national-level strategic leadership, and enterprise advisory roles. Across each chapter, he has remained grounded in values that emphasize accountability, humility, and responsibility to others. His approach demonstrates how personal principles can strengthen professional performance and provide clarity during complexity.

Leadership Anchored in Purpose

Throughout his career, Brent Byng has led organizations where decisions carried real consequences for people, missions, and outcomes. Whether managing enterprise budgets, advising senior leaders, or overseeing large, distributed teams, he has consistently emphasized purpose as the starting point for effective leadership.

Byng believes that leadership begins with service. This belief shaped his approach to command roles, policy assignments, and advisory positions. Rather than focusing solely on authority or position, he prioritizes stewardship, trust, and long-term impact.

Colleagues describe Byng as a leader who listens carefully, communicates clearly, and acts decisively. His leadership style reflects a balance between discipline and compassion, allowing teams to perform at a high level while remaining grounded in shared values.

Faith as a Source of Discipline and Perspective

Faith plays a central role in Byng’s leadership philosophy. He views faith not as a private compartment but as a source of discipline, reflection, and ethical clarity that informs his decisions.

Throughout decades of service, Byng relied on faith to maintain perspective during demanding assignments and periods of uncertainty. It shaped how he approached responsibility, accountability, and integrity, particularly when operating in environments defined by pressure and ambiguity.

Byng’s faith-based involvement includes participation in leadership formation programs focused on personal growth, responsibility, and service to others. These experiences reinforce principles such as humility, patience, and resilience, qualities that translate directly into effective leadership.

Rather than seeking recognition, Byng emphasizes consistency and character. He believes leaders earn trust through actions over time, guided by values that remain steady regardless of circumstance.

Family as the Foundation of Leadership

Family remains the cornerstone of Byng’s personal and professional life. He credits his family with providing balance, perspective, and motivation throughout his career.

Byng often speaks about leadership as an extension of responsibility learned at home. The lessons of commitment, accountability, and support that define strong families also define strong organizations. He believes leaders who honor family commitments bring greater empathy and stability to their professional roles.

During assignments that required long hours and frequent travel, Byng remained intentional about maintaining family connections. This discipline reinforced his belief that sustainable success requires balance rather than constant sacrifice.

By modeling these priorities, Byng encourages emerging leaders to define success in broader terms. He emphasizes that professional achievement should complement personal values rather than compete with them.

Service Before Self in Practice

Byng’s leadership philosophy reflects the principle of service before self, a value reinforced throughout his military career and carried into his enterprise leadership roles.

As a commander and senior operations leader, Byng prioritized the development and well-being of those he led. He consistently invested time in mentoring, coaching, and building leadership capacity across organizations.

His commitment to service extended beyond professional responsibilities. Byng has supported community initiatives, charitable efforts, and youth development programs. These efforts reflect his belief that leadership carries an obligation to contribute beyond organizational boundaries.

Service, in Byng’s view, strengthens credibility. Leaders who demonstrate genuine concern for others build trust that enables teams to navigate change and uncertainty more effectively.

Leading at Scale With Integrity

Over the course of his career, Byng has led organizations of more than 300 personnel and advised enterprises spanning multiple sites and departments. He has managed multimillion-dollar portfolios and supported leaders responsible for complex operational systems.

In each role, integrity served as a constant guide. Byng emphasizes transparency, ethical decision-making, and accountability as non-negotiable leadership standards.

As a senior advisor at Hurlburt Field, he provides strategic guidance across 12 departments, five geographic locations, and more than 1,600 personnel. His role requires aligning people, processes, and priorities while maintaining trust across diverse stakeholder groups.

Byng’s ability to lead at scale reflects not only technical expertise but also a values-based approach that fosters cohesion and resilience.

Faith and Decision-Making Under Pressure

Some of the most defining moments of Byng’s career occurred under intense pressure, where decisions carried operational, financial, and human consequences. In these moments, faith provided a framework for disciplined judgment.

Byng emphasizes preparation, reflection, and accountability when facing complex decisions. He avoids impulsive reactions and instead relies on structured analysis informed by experience and values.

This approach proved effective across operational command roles and strategic assignments at the Pentagon, where he supported senior defense leaders and international partners. His ability to remain composed and principled under pressure earned the trust of peers and superiors alike.

Faith, for Byng, reinforces the importance of responsibility over ego and mission over recognition.

Developing Leaders Through Values

Byng’s commitment to leadership development reflects his belief that values shape performance. Throughout his career, he has mentored mid-level and senior leaders, helping them build confidence, judgment, and ethical clarity.

He designed and supported leadership development and succession programs that emphasized competency, accountability, and personal growth. These programs strengthened organizational continuity and reduced reliance on individual personalities.

Byng encourages leaders to define their own guiding principles early and revisit them often. He believes values provide stability during change and prevent short-term pressures from undermining long-term goals.

This approach resonates with organizations seeking leaders who combine technical skill with character.

Academic and Professional Growth

Byng’s dedication to growth extends to his academic pursuits. He holds advanced degrees in operations management and military operational arts and science and continues to pursue a Doctor of Strategic Leadership.

His academic work reflects his interest in ethical leadership, organizational behavior, and strategic decision-making. Byng views education as a means of sharpening perspective and improving service to others.

Professional certifications in operations, project management, and human resources further support his ability to integrate people, systems, and strategy.

Byng’s commitment to learning underscores his belief that leadership requires continuous refinement rather than static expertise.

A Leadership Model for the Next Generation

As organizations confront rapid change and increasing complexity, Brent Byng’s leadership philosophy offers a compelling model. By grounding strategy and execution in faith, family, and service, he demonstrates that values-driven leadership remains relevant and effective.

His career illustrates that success does not require abandoning personal principles. Instead, Byng shows that strong values enhance decision-making, build trust, and sustain performance over time.

As he continues to advise leaders and position himself for senior executive opportunities, Byng brings a perspective shaped by decades of service, reflection, and responsibility.

In a world often focused on speed and scale, Brent Byng’s example reminds organizations that lasting success begins with grounded leadership rooted in faith, family, and purpose.
