Michael Turton
Michael Turton is a political commentator based in Taiwan,[1] where he has a regular column with Taiwan News.[2] Turton has also written for publications including The Taipei Times,[3] The Diplomat,[4] and The Interpreter, published by the Lowy Institute.[5] He is known in particular for his blog The View from Taiwan,[6] which he has been running since 2005.[7] Albert Tseng, of Ketagalan Media, described Turton's blog as "an established institution", and one of seven blogs to follow during the Taiwan elections.[8] Another regional political commentator, J Michael Cole, describes the blog as 'excellent'.[9]
In his writing, Turton covers topics including Taiwan's relations with other countries,[10] marriage equality,[2] labour relations,[2] expat living,[11] religion,[3] and what he calls the new civic nationalism among the nation's young people.[12] In late 2016, he commented on an incident when local school students dressed up in Nazi paraphernalia, and how this reflected upon Taiwanese society.[13] Turton has also reflected more broadly upon Taiwan's identity, and its independence from China.[14] He has observed an increase in the use of the term “pro-Taiwan” instead of “anti-China” in English-language journalism.[15]
Turton has lived in Taiwan for about twenty years. He is an avid cyclist and teaches English at a local university.[6]
