TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO SAVE THE CHINA FUND – VOTE YOUR SHARES TODAY!

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

At its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders of The China Fund Inc. will consider two proposals: the election of two directors and termination of the Fund’s advisory agreements.

Your vote on these proposals is extremely important to the future of your Fund. Simply put, in order to prevent the Fund from possibly having no choice other than to liquidate or merge into another fund, the Fund’s Board of Directors strongly urges you to vote on the enclosed White Proxy Card FOR its nominees for Directors and AGAINST the Termination Proposal.    

If you have already voted, you are completely free to change that vote.

Remember that you can vote in several different ways.

To vote by telephone (either using an automated system or by speaking with a live representative) or on the Internet, follow the instructions provided on the enclosed WHITE proxy card.

To vote by mail simply fill out the WHITE proxy card and return it in the enclosed postage-paid reply envelope.

To vote in person, attend the Meeting and cast your vote. The Stockholders’ Meeting will be held at the offices of Clifford Chance, 31 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019-6131.

Act now to make sure your shares are voted and The China Fund is saved.

Sincerely,

Joe O. Rogers

Chairman
