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?

MOKiN Reframes the Role of Technology Human-Centered Design at the Core

Published

on

United States, 1st Jan 2026, – As digital tools continue to evolve, the relationship between people and technology is becoming increasingly complex. Devices are more powerful and interconnected at an unprecedented scale, yet countless users report growing challenges around distraction, fragmented attention, and digital environments that feel difficult to manage. Efficiency has improved, but clarity and focus have become harder to maintain.

Technology brand MOKiN is rooted in its own origins.

The company starts from the desk: a space where modern work, creativity, and decision-making converge. In its early days, MOKiN focused on a practical and widely shared problem: overcrowded desks, insufficient ports, tangled cables, and inefficient workflows caused by fragmented device connections. Early MOKiN products, including hubs and docking stations, were designed to restore order to everyday workspaces by simplifying connections, reducing visual clutter, and helping users regain control over their working environment.

As work patterns evolved and technology became more deeply embedded in daily life, MOKiN extended this philosophy beyond the desk. Chargers were developed to deliver stable, dependable energy without interruption, while power banks enabled continuity from workspace to commute. Together, these products formed a seamless flow, supporting transitions between locations, tasks, and moments without adding friction or complexity.

However, as digital ecosystems expanded, MOKiN observed that efficiency alone was no longer enough. While streamlined connections and reliable power focused on functional challenges, users increasingly faced a different kind of friction: cognitive overload, constant context switching, and tools that demanded attention rather than supporting it.

In response, the brand began to shift its perspective: from optimizing performance to understanding behavior. For MOKiN, modern technology must do more than boost productivity; it must recognize how people think, focus, and move between tasks across devices and environments. In this context, understanding becomes a functional capability: shaping how tools interact with users rather than simply how they operate.

This evolution reflects MOKiN’s broader commitment to human-centered design of technology. The brand emphasizes that effective technology must listen, anticipate common pain points, and adapt naturally to real-world usage behaviors. By reducing friction and simplifying interaction, digital tools can support smoother workflows, clearer thinking, and more balanced experiences in increasingly dense digital environments.

MOKiN also highlights the growing influence technology has on modern lifestyles: from how ideas are captured to how attention is sustained throughout the day. When products are designed with empathy and insight into these interactions, technology can contribute not only to productivity but also to continuity, calm, and a more intuitive relationship between people and their devices.

Looking ahead, MOKiN reaffirms its commitment to building technology guided by empathy, professionalism, and a strong sense of responsibility toward users. The brand’s direction signals an ongoing transition: from tools that merely enable efficiency to systems that foster more considerate and human-aligned collaboration between people and technology.

As digital ecosystems continue to expand, MOKiN envisions user awareness, calm, and human-centered thinking not as optional values, but as essential foundations for the next stage of technological progress. In this vision, technology works with people, not against them.

Press Release

Brigitte Bardot, Gia Skova, and the Timeless Power of Iconic Presence

Published

on

Russia, 1st Jan 2026 – Brigitte Bardot remains one of the most enduring cultural figures of the 20th century – not only for her film work, but for the way her image reshaped ideas of femininity, autonomy, and visual power. Long after her most iconic performances, Bardot’s presence continues to circulate across fashion, photography, and contemporary art, functioning less as nostalgia and more as a living visual language.

That language has recently resurfaced in a contemporary context through the work of artist JP.Simon, whose Brigitte Bardot–inspired collection draws on the graphic repetition and bold iconography associated with Andy Warhol. Rather than revisiting Bardot as a cinematic figure, the project reframes her as a cultural symbol – one capable of being reinterpreted through modern artistic systems. The collection was featured in Irrationalist, a magazine known for examining cultural icons through a conceptual and contemporary lens.

 

JP.Simon’s work sits within a broader trend in visual culture: the reexamination of feminine archetypes not as historical artifacts, but as ongoing forces. His practice extends beyond the Bardot series into a larger body of work — including more than 150 paintings – that explores themes of power, beauty, and resistance through recurring female imagery.

A parallel exploration of feminine iconography can be found in the work of actress and filmmaker Gia Skova, whose comic book universe Lucinda has attracted attention for its unconventional approach to female heroism. Unlike traditional franchise protagonists, Lucinda is constructed less as a narrative explanation and more as a visual and symbolic presence – autonomous, uncompromising, and resistant to simplification.

Industry observers have noted that characters like Lucinda reflect a broader shift in contemporary storytelling, particularly in film, comics, and transmedia IP, where presence and memorability increasingly outweigh traditional character exposition. In this sense, the lineage from figures such as Bardot to modern creations is not one of imitation, but of continuity – a shared emphasis on immediacy, visual authority, and cultural imprint.

Both Bardot and Lucinda operate through a similar mechanism of recognition. Their impact is not driven by overt sexuality or spectacle, but by a form of screen and visual presence that lingers. It is an effect that resists explanation yet remains instantly legible – a quality often cited by critics as one of the most difficult to manufacture within contemporary entertainment industries.

 

This concept of presence has become increasingly relevant as studios and creators search for IP that can transcend platforms. In an era of rapid content turnover, figures that function as icons rather than mere characters offer a different kind of longevity. They exist not only within stories, but within visual memory.

Irrationalist has notably featured both Brigitte Bardot and Gia Skova on separate covers, creating an unintended but telling dialogue between generations. Seen side by side within the magazine’s editorial history, the images highlight how cultural iconography evolves while retaining its core language.

For Skova, whose work spans film, comics, and visual art collaborations, the Lucinda universe represents an attempt to build an IP anchored not in trend cycles, but in archetypal continuity. While Bardot once embodied a rupture in 20th-century ideas of femininity through presence alone, contemporary creators are now translating similar codes into modern formats – graphic novels, serialized storytelling, and cross-platform franchises.

As the industry continues to reassess the value of icon-driven IP, the enduring relevance of figures like Bardot offers a reminder: icons do not disappear when their era ends. They adapt, reemerge, and find new expression through artists and creators who understand their language.

In this context, Lucinda does not function as a replacement or a comparison, but as a contemporary expression of a familiar cultural force — one that has traveled through decades of visual history and continues to shape how audiences recognize power, beauty, and autonomy on screen and beyond.
