6 The 21st-century US-China bilateral relationship is the most important in the world, says Ambassador Julia Chang Bloch, who founded and expanded the US-China Education Trust from a single Peking University seminar in 1998 to a network of 53 American Studies and 38 Media Education partnerships across China. To promote mutual understanding, USCET gives future Chinese and American leaders greater knowledge of each others society and culture through faculty and student exchanges, scholarships and innovative program collaborations between Chinese and US government, academic, corporate and individual partners. Under USCET auspices, two American Cultural Centers are now open at Beijing Foreign Studies University and Northeast Normal University in Changchun, respectively. In 1988, to honor her father Chang Fu-Yun, the first Chinese graduate of Harvard Law School, Ambassador Chang Bloch and her husband Stuart Marshall Bloch created the F.Y. Chang Foundation to support China s next generation Harvard Law graduates. Today, over 60 Harvard F.Y. Chang Legal Scholars are reshaping China and the world through legal education and the rule of law. US-CHINA EDUCATION TRUST 2101 K STREET, NW SECOND FLOOR WASHINGTON, DC PHONE:
