US-China Education Trust Information

US-China Education Trust (USCET) promotes US-China relations by increasing understanding of the US among rising leaders in China. This is accomplished through engagement with Chinese institutions of higher learning and leading practitioners primarily in the fields of American Studies and journalism/media. USCET's work focuses on bringing top US experts to China for workshops, lectures, and conferences. They engage directly in discussions about American society, policies, and practices with key Chinese academic and other audiences. Much of USCET’s work is based around two unique consortia developed by USCET founder and president, Ambassador Julia Chang Bloch: the American Studies Network (ASN) and the Media Education Consortium (MEC). The ASN consists of 53 Chinese universities and think tanks that each have an American Studies center or program. The MEC consists of 37 Chinese universities that have departments or programs in journalism or media. Altogether, USCET is partner to 70 unique institutions spanning the breadth of China. Each year USCET helps organize an annual conference for each of these consortia, bringing together top scholars and practitioners in China from these fields, along with top US experts.
