History
In 2006, Tien resigned as chairman of the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation due to disputes with other directors over his management style.
Tien joined the Liberal Party in 2008 and became District Officer for Kowloon West. He quit the party in 2010 and started the New People's Party with Regina Ip, of which he became the deputy chairman.
Michael Tien was in a documentary about wealthy people experiencing the life of people who live in poor Hong Kong neighbourhoods.
In the 2017 Chief Executive election, Tien supported her party chairwoman Regina Ip. He complained the election had "lost its shape" due to the increasing interference of "an invisible hand", referring to the Liaison Office. Tien inclined his support for John Tsang after Ip dropped out, although Ip endorsed Carrie Lam on the last day before the election. Tien eventually quit the party on 10 April with six District Councillors.
Background and education
Tien attended Diocesan Boys' School and spent a year at Worcester Academy in the United States. Tien has a degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
