He previously served as the premier of the Republic of China from 1 February 2016 to 20 May 2016 after being appointed by President Ma Ying-jeou. Before assuming the premiership, he had served as vice premier from 8 December 2014 under the Mao Chi-kuo cabinet. Chang was the first nonpartisan premier of Taiwan. Before entering politics, Chang graduated from National Taiwan University and earned a master's degree from Stanford University and his doctorate from Cornell University in engineering.

The pair lost to incumbent president Tsai Ing-wen and her running mate William Lai.
