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?

Aimelisz Introduces Glow Cleanser, a Minimalist Daily Cleanser Created for Sensitive and Dry Skin

Published

on

May 16, 2026

By

London, United Kingdom, 16th May 2026 – Aimelisz has officially introduced a Glow Cleanser, a newly developed facial cleanser formulated to provide a gentle yet effective cleansing experience for individuals with sensitive, dry, and normal skin types. The launch reflects the brand’s continued focus on skincare solutions that prioritize comfort, simplicity, and skin balance without relying on aggressive ingredients or complicated routines.

Created as an all-in-one cleansing solution, their Glow Cleanser is designed to remove makeup, SPF, excess oil, and everyday impurities in a single step while helping maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance. The formula aims to leave skin feeling refreshed, calm, and hydrated after cleansing, avoiding the tight or stripped sensation commonly associated with many traditional face washes.

The cleanser features an alcohol-free and fragrance-free composition developed specifically for skin that is prone to dryness, irritation, or sensitivity. Rather than encouraging harsh exfoliation or multiple cleansing stages, the product was created to support a more streamlined skincare routine centered around daily comfort and consistency.

According to the company, the inspiration behind their Glow Cleanser came from growing consumer demand for skincare products that feel gentle on the skin while still delivering effective cleansing performance.

A spokesperson for Aimelisz stated that many consumers experience ongoing frustration with cleansers that disrupt the skin barrier or leave the complexion feeling dry and uncomfortable after use. The company explained that their Glow Cleanser was developed to offer a softer alternative that fits naturally into everyday skincare routines without overwhelming the skin.

The cleanser has been formulated to support several key skincare concerns, including:

  • Removing makeup, SPF, and surface impurities in one cleansing step
  • Helping skin feel hydrated and balanced after cleansing
  • Reducing feelings of dryness and post-wash tightness
  • Supporting sensitive and easily reactive skin types
  • Simplifying lengthy multi-step cleansing routines

Aimelisz continues to position its skincare philosophy around creating products that encourage a slower, more restorative approach to self-care. The brand focuses on formulas inspired by comfort, softness, and practical everyday skincare experiences rather than overly complicated regimens.

The ‘Glow Cleanser’ is now available through the brand’s official website.

Pink Moon Launches Wearable Affirmation Jewelry Brand

FIT Graduate Riza Baah Builds a Brand at the Intersection of Neuroscience, Faith, and Fashion. New Direct-to-Consumer Collection Transforms Everyday Jewelry Into a Daily Practice of Speaking Life

United States, 16th May 2026 — At a time when science and scripture are converging on a powerful truth about the human voice, one emerging jewelry brand is turning that truth into something you can wear.

Pink Moon, founded by soon-to-be Fashion Institute of Technology graduate Riza Baah, officially launched today with its debut Unfailing Love Collection— a line of stackable rings and everyday earrings designed not merely as accessories, but as wearable affirmations. Each piece is intentionally created to serve as a daily, physical reminder of the wearer’s values: love, confidence, growth, and belonging.

The Science Behind the Mission: Why Words — and What We Wear — Matter

Pink Moon’s founding premise is backed by a growing body of peer-reviewed research. Studies published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and the Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience journal confirm that self-affirmations — the practice of intentionally reflecting on one’s core values — activate the brain’s reward system, specifically the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC). This is the same neural region that responds to genuine positive experiences.

The implications are significant. Research from Carnegie Mellon University found that a brief self-affirmation activity could enable individuals with high chronic stress to perform at the same cognitive level as those with low stress. Additional studies published in Psychological Science confirmed that affirmations are most effective when used proactively — before stressful situations — and that their benefits, including reduced cortisol levels and improved psychological well-being, can persist for weeks when practiced consistently.

Critically, research shows that affirmations are most powerful not as empty phrases, but when they are rooted in the wearer’s genuine, personal values. This is precisely the design philosophy behind every Pink Moon piece.

This science aligns with one of history’s most enduring truths. Proverbs 18:21 declares: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Pink Moon was founded at this intersection — where ancient wisdom meets modern neuroscience — with the belief that what we choose to declare over ourselves, and what we choose to wear close to our bodies, are both acts of intentional self-creation.

The Unfailing Love Collection: Jewelry Designed to Be Lived In

The debut collection centers on stackable rings and everyday earrings crafted from durable, lightweight materials designed for continuous daily wear. The stackable architecture is intentional — wearers can layer pieces over time, building combinations that reflect personal milestones, evolving values, and different chapters of their lives.

Each design concept represents a theme — confidence, love, transformation, growth, belonging — making the act of getting dressed each morning an intentional, affirmation-grounded ritual. With every purchase, Pink Moon also contributes to a monthly donation supporting Lifesong for Orphans, extending the brand’s mission of love and affirmation far beyond its customer base.

“I started Pink Moon because I wanted jewelry that reminded me of who I am and what I believe in. So many products today focus on trends or appearance. I wanted to create pieces people could wear every day that quietly represent confidence, growth, or belonging. Something simple but meaningful.” — Riza Baah, Founder, Pink Moon

A Brand Built for a Generation Seeking Meaning

Pink Moon enters a jewelry market experiencing a meaningful consumer shift. Gen Z and younger millennial consumers are increasingly drawn to brands that reflect individuality, personal values, and emotional resonance over status or trend. The growing mainstream interest in self-affirmation practices — validated by the American Psychological Association and covered widely in wellness and lifestyle media — has created a culturally receptive moment for a brand that makes those practices wearable.

Baah founded the brand while studying advertising and marketing at FIT, identifying a gap between what jewelry looks like and what her generation wants it to mean. Pink Moon is her answer to that gap.

Availability

The Unfailing Love Collection is available now exclusively through Pink Moon’s e-commerce platform at pinkmoon.com.co, with shipping available across the United States.

Founded by soon-to-be FIT graduate Riza Baah, the brand creates rings and earrings designed as wearable affirmations — pieces built not just for how they look, but for what they stand for. Rooted in the belief that words shape identity and biology, and inspired by both modern neuroscience and timeless faith, Pink Moon designs jewelry that symbolizes values such as confidence, growth, love, and belonging. Each piece serves as a daily, intentional reminder of who the wearer is and who they are becoming. Pink Moon’s debut Unfailing Love Collection is available now at pinkmoon.com.co.
