Ambassador Julia Chang Bloch, the first Asian American to hold the rank of an ambassador in U.S. history and the founding president of the U.S.-China Education Trust, will explore the meanings and implications of the rise of China. Why does China hold more than a trillion dollar U.S. debt? What are the stakes for the U.S. pivots back to Asia? How does the U.S. maintain its interest and balance power in Asia Pacific?
During her 25-year service in diplomatic missions, international affairs, and government administration, as well as her 3-year work in the private sector, Ambassador Bloch has set up a record of excellence and distinguished herself as a person of great charisma and leadership in both the United States and China:
1989 The US Ambassador to the Kingdom of Nepal
1993 Vice President of the Bank of America
1996 President and CEO of the United States-Japan Foundation
1998 Visiting professor and executive vice chair, American Studies Center, Peking University
2000 Distinguished Advisor, School of International and Public Affairs, and visiting professor, American Studies Center, Fudan University
2004 Founding President of the U.S.-China Education Trust
Born in China and coming to the U.S. at age nine, Ambassador Bloch holds a B.A. in Communications and Public Policy from University of California at Berkeley, a M.A. in Government and East Asian Studies from Harvard University, and an honorary Ph. D of Humane Letters from Northeastern University.
