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?

Australia, 19th May 2026 – The Brisbane Plumbers, a respected and industry-leading Brisbane plumbing company specialising in emergency plumbing and burst pipe repairs, has announced an expanded focus on fast burst pipe repair services across Brisbane in response to ongoing demand for urgent residential and commercial plumbing assistance. The initiative is intended to improve response times for customers experiencing burst pipes, water leaks, and related plumbing emergencies throughout the metropolitan area.
Burst pipes remain one of the more disruptive plumbing issues faced by property owners, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall, fluctuating temperatures, and ageing infrastructure conditions. Left unresolved, burst pipes can contribute to water damage, structural concerns, and interruptions to homes and business operations.
The Brisbane Plumbers have reported an increase in requests for emergency pipe repairs in recent months, particularly in older suburbs where ageing plumbing systems require ongoing maintenance and rapid intervention. The company stated that the expanded focus includes additional technician availability, improved dispatch coordination, and continued use of diagnostic technology to identify pipe failures more efficiently.
The company provides a broad range of plumbing services, including emergency plumbing, pipe relining, blocked drain solutions, CCTV drain inspections, hot water system maintenance, general plumbing repairs, and gas fitting services. The burst pipe repair initiative forms part of broader efforts to strengthen emergency response capabilities across Brisbane and surrounding areas.
Joseph, Director of The Brisbane Plumbers, said fast response services have become increasingly important because burst pipes can escalate quickly if not addressed promptly.
“Burst pipes can cause significant disruption to households and commercial properties within a short period of time,” said Joseph. “The increased focus on rapid repair services is intended to help reduce water damage risks and support property owners in restoring normal operations as quickly as possible.”
The company stated that burst pipe incidents are commonly linked to corrosion, shifting ground conditions, blocked drains, excessive water pressure, and deterioration in older pipe systems. In some cases, concealed leaks may remain undetected until visible water damage or reduced water pressure becomes apparent.
To improve repair efficiency, The Brisbane Plumbers continues to use CCTV drain inspections and non-invasive diagnostic methods to identify the location and cause of pipe damage before repairs commence. The company noted that accurate diagnostics can reduce unnecessary excavation and minimise disruption to surrounding structures and landscaping.
Pipe relining services have also become an important component of the company’s repair approach. Pipe relining allows damaged sections of piping to be restored internally without requiring full excavation in many situations. According to the company, this method may assist in reducing repair times while preserving existing infrastructure where appropriate.
The Brisbane Plumbers services both residential and commercial clients throughout Brisbane and maintains 24-hour emergency plumbing availability for urgent situations, including burst pipes, gas leaks, blocked drains, and water leaks. The company indicated that maintaining continuous emergency support remains an operational priority as demand for urgent plumbing assistance continues.
Industry data has shown that water-related property damage remains a common issue for Australian households and businesses, particularly when plumbing faults are not addressed early. Plumbing professionals continue to encourage property owners to monitor signs of leaks, unusual water pressure changes, and drainage problems to help reduce the likelihood of more serious infrastructure damage.
Joseph said the company expects continued demand for emergency plumbing support as Brisbane’s residential and commercial infrastructure evolves.
“Demand for responsive plumbing services is expected to remain steady as properties age and maintenance requirements increase across Brisbane,” said Joseph. “Continued investment in emergency response capability and repair technology is intended to support efficient service delivery and long-term plumbing reliability for local properties.”
The Brisbane Plumbers operate from Geebung and provide plumbing support throughout Brisbane and the surrounding areas. The company’s emergency plumbing team remains available at all hours for urgent repair requirements involving burst pipes and related plumbing issues.

Outdoor Renovations Details Design-Build Approach for Austin Summer Outdoor Living Season
Austin landscape contractor Outdoor Renovations outlines its single-contract design-build model for hardscaping, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and landscape lighting as Central Texas homeowners plan projects for the 2026 summer season.
Austin, Texas, United States, 19th May 2026 — Outdoor Renovations, a licensed landscape contractor serving the greater Austin metro area, is detailing its design-build approach for homeowners planning outdoor living projects during the 2026 summer season. As Central Texas enters its peak season for backyard construction, the company is emphasizing how a single-contract model reduces the coordination problems that often delay multi-trade landscape projects.
Founded in 2022 by Licensed Landscape Contractor Kyle Stoutenger, Outdoor Renovations has completed more than 200 residential and commercial projects across the Austin metro area. The company maintains a 99 percent client satisfaction rate and provides a one-year service guarantee on all completed work.
One Contract, Eight Services
Summer outdoor living projects in Central Texas frequently combine several trades. A single backyard renovation can involve hardscaping, custom carpentry, planting, irrigation, and lighting, with each stage depending on the one before it. When homeowners hire separate contractors for each piece, scheduling gaps and rework are common.
Outdoor Renovations handles all eight of its services under one contract and one point of contact. The company provides custom landscape design with to-scale 2D plans and photorealistic 3D renderings, professional hardscaping that includes patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and fire features, custom carpentry for pergolas, decks, fences, and privacy screens, softscaping and planting with species selected for Central Texas conditions, smart irrigation and drainage, professional landscape lighting, custom metal fabrication, and ongoing property management. Details on each service are available at https://outdoorreno.com/services/hardscaping and across the full service catalog.
Why Summer Projects Reward Early Planning
The design phase shapes the budget and the build schedule. Outdoor Renovations starts every project with a master plan that documents grading, drainage, materials, and layout before construction begins. On hillside limestone lots and properties with mature live oak canopies, this planning step prevents the costly mid-project changes that often occur when work begins without a documented design. Homeowners who begin the design process early in the season are better positioned to complete construction before peak heat. The company outlines its planning process at https://outdoorreno.com/services/landscape-design/.
Landscape lighting has become a frequent addition to summer outdoor living projects, extending the usable hours of patios, kitchens, and entertaining areas into the evening. Outdoor Renovations designs and installs lighting as part of an integrated plan rather than as a separate add-on, which keeps wiring, hardscape, and planting coordinated. More information is available at https://outdoorreno.com/services/landscape-lighting.
Built for Central Texas Conditions
Stoutenger noted that summer construction in the Austin area carries specific demands.
“Central Texas heat, alkaline limestone soils, and drought conditions all affect what materials and plant species perform over time,” said Kyle Stoutenger, owner of Outdoor Renovations. “A summer project that is designed and sequenced correctly holds up. One that is rushed without a plan usually does not. The value of the design-build model is that one team owns the outcome from the first drawing through the final walkthrough.”
Outdoor Renovations is a Licensed Landscape Contractor, fully bonded and insured. Complimentary on-site consultations are available for residential and commercial properties across the Austin metro area. Additional project information is available at https://outdoorreno.com.

Bali Tourism Run 2026 will take place on June 21, 2026, in the UNESCO-listed Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, combining sport tourism, cultural experiences and sustainable travel. Organized by ASITA Bali and tourism stakeholders, the event aims to promote community-based tourism, support local businesses and position Bali as a leading sustainable tourism destination in Southeast Asia.
Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, 19th May 2026 — Bali’s tourism industry is set to launch a new international sport tourism initiative as Bali Tourism Run 2026 prepares to take place on June 21, 2026, in the UNESCO-recognized cultural landscape of Jatiluwih Rice Terraces.
Organized by the Bali chapter of the Association of Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA Bali) in collaboration with Bali Tourism Board, the Provincial Government of Bali, and tourism stakeholders across the island, the event is designed to combine sport tourism, cultural tourism and sustainable travel experiences within one of Bali’s most iconic rural destinations.
The inaugural Bali Tourism Run 2026 will feature a 5-kilometer route through the scenic rice terrace landscape of Jatiluwih, offering participants an immersive experience that extends beyond the race itself.
Organizers say the event is part of a broader effort to encourage quality tourism in Bali by promoting destinations rooted in local culture, environmental awareness and community-based tourism.
“Through Bali Tourism Run, we want to show that Jatiluwih is a high-quality destination that is safe, comfortable and worthy of global attention,” said I Putu Winastra, Chairman of ASITA Bali and initiator of the event.
Unlike large-scale urban marathons, Bali Tourism Run 2026 will limit participation to approximately 2,000 runners following environmental carrying-capacity assessments conducted for the Jatiluwih area.
Organizers emphasized that preserving the integrity of the UNESCO-recognized cultural landscape remains a top priority.
“If the event becomes too large, it could create environmental pressure and negatively impact the destination,” Winastra added.
The event also aims to support local economic activity by involving small businesses, culinary vendors, village tourism operators and homestay owners in the surrounding Jatiluwih area.
Participants will be encouraged to explore rural tourism experiences beyond the race, including local food, traditional Balinese village life and community-based tourism activities.
Chairman of the organizing committee I Wayan Suberata said the timing of the event coincides with Indonesia’s school holiday period, Bali Arts Festival season and increased domestic travel demand.
“Our main goal is to encourage more domestic and international visitors to experience Bali during this important tourism period,” Suberata said.
The event weekend will also feature the Jatiluwih Festival on June 20, 2026, one day prior to the main race, further expanding cultural and tourism activities in the region.
Registration for Bali Tourism Run 2026 is currently open through Official Bali Tourism Run 2026 Registration Page.
Early bird registration is available for IDR 250,000 until May 21, 2026, while regular registration will be priced at IDR 300,000 afterward. Registration packages include a race jersey, finisher medal, amenities and vouchers redeemable at participating local businesses.
In addition to tourism promotion, Bali Tourism Run 2026 will also support community-focused social initiatives, including scholarships for underprivileged children and housing assistance programs in Bali.
Organizers expect Bali Tourism Run to evolve into an annual tourism event rotating across multiple regions in Bali as part of preparations toward the “100 Years of Bali Tourism” milestone in 2027.
