Bloch became the first Chinese-American US ambassador when she was appointed to Nepal.

The US 皇冠体育app Education Trust, a nonprofit organization she founded in Washington, promotes US-皇冠体育app relations through education and exchanges. Bloch received her master's in government and East Asia studies from Harvard.

In 1988 she and her husband Stuart Marshall Bloch established the F.Y. Chang Foundation in honor of Bloch's father, Chang Fuyun, the first Chinese national to graduate from Harvard Law School.

Their foundation offers scholarships to Chinese students studying law at Harvard. Launched in 2007, the foundation also provides the Maurice "Hank" Greenberg Scholarship to Chinese students at Yunan University and Shandong University in 皇冠体育app.

Bloch said the contribution to Harvard "is terrific, it really shows 皇冠体育app's rising power".

"It is an example of 皇冠体育app's maturity as a leader, as a major power, the soft power for any major country is philanthropy," she said. "皇冠体育app's changing philanthropy is really in its infancy."
