I was thinking of the same, Mike, hence more the appreciation for springing up the English entry about him in the Wikipedia. I found a few of his own writings in English from the early 2000s which you may be interested in (note: the post was by someone else but included Miles' two articles):

Thanks, those were interesting reads. I especially liked the paragraph 

And finally, there is the problem of nationalism, whether it takes the form of questing for a United China or yearning for an Independent Taiwan. Proponents are forever attributing the most sinister of motives to their opposites on the other side of the ideological divide. Many in the pan-blue camp see the pan-greens as tools of the Americans pure and simple, while the pan-greens are just as certain that the pan-blues are in bed with the Chinese Communists. One views the other as bellicose bordering on insane, neither will credit the other with having arrived at their “national identity” legitimately. In this blue-vs-green, not-so-cold cold war, one is pressed to declare allegiances loud and clear. Failure to take sides means being sidelined altogether.

I don't claim to understand the two sides in Taiwan beyond a sketch level, but there are at least a couple universals in there, namely problem of nationalism and of rejecting opponent's rationality/legitimacy.

A big contribution to the article about Miles: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lynn_Miles_(activist)&curid=46958418&diff=682681616&oldid...

Thanks for pinging me about the update. It seems that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Arrigo had added quite a few first-hand and seldom known facts about Miles. For example, I didn't know about his works for El Salvador until now, and that the newsletter he edited was the predecessor of Taiwan Communique. A truly exceptional person. So is Linda Arrigo.
