Manager’s Commentary

Market Review

Greater China's stock market indices trended upwards in April, marking the fourth month of consecutive gain in 2017. Renewed concerns over economic growth dampened sentiment, as growth in China's manufacturing sector slowed faster than expected in April. The Caixin Manufacturing Purchasing Manager's Index ("PMI") fell to 50.5 in April from 51.2 in March, making it the weakest reading since September 2016. In addition, growth in China's services sector cooled in April to the slowest it's been in almost a year, as fears of slower economic growth dented business confidence, even as cost pressures eased. In the Hong Kong stock market, inflows from mainland China through the Stock Connect Schemes have helped push the index higher. These events have offset softer-than-expected economic readings in China. In Taiwan, supply chain names related to Apple Inc., continued to do well ahead of positive expectations on smartphone shipments.

Overall, the MSCI Golden Dragon Index gained 2.6% in April. The information technology and consumer discretionary sectors were the largest contributors; while the primary laggards were in the telecom services and energy sectors.

Fund Review

The China Fund, Inc. (the "Fund”) underperformed the benchmark in April, mainly due to weak stock selection within the financials sector.

Just as the cyclical rally seemed to have come to an end, our underweight in the cyclical sectors, including materials anc energy, helped relative performance.

Within the financials sector, our underweight position in AIA Group Limited ("AIA"), an Asia regional insurance provider, was our top detractor. While we like its well-recognized brand and superior management quality compared to Chinese insurers, we believe China's market is increasingly dominating AIA's growth. We find it difficult to justify its high valuation, which is almost twice as much as its counterparts in China. We therefore stand by our decision to not hold this security in our portfolio. Instead, we hold Ping an Insurance Group Company of China, one of the leading Chinese insurers with a more attractive valuation and good long-term growth potential.

On the positive side, three of the top five contributing stocks were underweight positions in cyclical stocks that have corrected meaningfully after their previous rally. Furthermore, our holding in Goldpac Group Ltd., a small-cap bank card manufacturer in China, also contributed to performance. This name was previously neglected by the market due to concerns over margin pressure, but a recent announcement showed a sequential improvement in company earnings with abundant cash on hand to support dividend payouts, leading to the share price reacting positively.

Key Transactions

We continue to add to China Mengniu Dairy Company Ltd., a leading dairy product provider in Hong Kong. We like the new management's commitment to turning around the business through revamping the product mix along with improving the operating efficiency of the company. We have also been adding to JD.com ("JD"), an e-commerce player competitive with Alibaba Group Holding Company ("Alibaba").

Outlook

With the economic and political situation in China providing few surprises this year, especially ahead of the National Congress in Q3, we believe the China equity market is likely to consolidate its year-to-date gains in the near-term. It is good news that China and Hong Kong equities remain one of the most under-owned emerging markets; therefore medium term positive catalysts, such as encouraging reform progress or visible improvement in company fundamentals, should help bring fund flow back to this market and help with valuation re-rating.

One noticeable portfolio change we made over the past month was introducing new names to the Chinese internet space in addition to the two leaders, Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Alibaba. These two stocks have become too big in the benchmark (25%), therefore difficult for active funds to generate alpha under the holding restrictions. Specifically, we have added to JD, as discussed above.

Supporting our positioning in the internet space is our positive view on China's consumption upgrade over the next couple of years. There will be huge opportunities for industries such as entertainment, consumer, and technology. At the same time, high-end manufacturing will remain one important driver of China's global competitiveness. For example, the top three categories of exports in 2016 were phone systems including smartphones, computers and integrated circuits. With China's commitment to research and development to enhance national productivity, we believe this trend is set to continue. We capture this trend through software services, semiconductor, and automation companies in the portfolio.

The China Fund, Inc.

Proposed Manager Change

On March 31, 2017, the Fund announced that its Board of Directors had selected Open Door Investment Management, Ltd. ("Open Door") to become its Investment Manager, subject to stockholder approval at a Special Meeting of Stockholders expected to be held in June. Open Door, with offices in Shanghai and San Francisco, will provide the Fund with a Greater China investment strategy that focuses more on smaller capitalization and entrepreneurial companies than do most other investment funds investing in the Greater China markets. Open Door believes that this strategy will differentiate the Fund from other closed- end funds and exchange-traded funds, with index-anchored, large-capitalization approaches to investing in Greater China.

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through investment in the equity securities of companies and other entities with significant assets, investments, production activities, trading or other business interests in China or which derive a significant part of their revenue from China.

The Fund has an operating policy that the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in China companies. For this purpose, 'China companies' are (i) companies for which the principal securities trading market is in China; (ii) companies for which the principal securities trading market is outside of China or in companies organized outside of China, that in both cases derive at least 50% of their revenues from goods or services sold or produced, or have at least 50% of their assets in China; or (iii) companies organized in China. Under the policy, China means the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The Fund will provide its stockholders with at least 60 days' prior notice of any change to this policy.

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through investment in the equity securities of companies and other entities with significant assets, investments, production activities, trading or other business interests in China or which derive a significant part of their revenue from China.
