Diplomatic career
Chang served as the Taiwanese representative to Israel from 2010 to January 2014, when he was appointed the representative to Indonesia.
In April 2014, Taiwanese businesspeople in Indonesia donated four garbage trucks through Chang to Jakarta Lieutenant Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama to help the city government to handle waste-related issues. Basuki responded by saying that Taiwan has helped Jakarta a lot in handling its continuous flood problems, citing other examples like Tzu Chi Foundation programs.{{Cite news|url=http://tekno.kompas.com/read/2014/04/11/1215285/ahok.terima.sumbangan.4.truk.sampah.dari.pengusaha.taiwan|title=Ahok Terima Sumbangan 4 Truk Sampah dari Pengusaha Taiwan|work=Kompas|lang=id|access-date=21 December 2023|date=11 April 2014}}
