REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM



To the Board of Directors
The Taiwan Fund, Inc.
Boston, Massachusetts

In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of the Taiwan Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund"), as
of and for the year ended August 31, 2015, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we
considered their internal control over financial
reporting,
including control activities for safeguarding
securities, as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures
for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and to comply with the
requirements
of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Fund's
internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The management of the Fund is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal
control
over financial reporting.   In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are
required to assess the expected benefits and
related costs of controls.   A company's internal
control over
financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.   A
company's internal control over financial reporting
includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
a company's assets that could have a material
effect on
the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements.   Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial
reporting exists when the design or operation of a
control
does not allow management or employees, in the
normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to
prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a
material misstatement of the company's annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented
or
detected on a timely basis.








Our consideration of the Fund's internal control
over financial reporting was for the limited
purpose
described in the first paragraph and would not
necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal
control that
might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight
Board (United States).   However, we noted no
deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over
financial
reporting and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, which we consider to be
material weaknesses, as defined above, as of August
31, 2015.

This report is intended solely for the information
and use of management, Shareholders and Board of
Directors of the Taiwan Fund, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not
intended to
be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.

ARTICLE III

Directors
             Section 3.1.	Number of Directors.
The Board of Directors shall be not less than 3 nor
more than 15 in number as may be fixed from time to
time by the affirmative vote at a meeting of the
holders of a majority of the stock outstanding or
by resolution of the Board of Directors adopted by
a
majority of the directors then in office, except
that no decrease in the number of directors shall
shorten the
term of any incumbent director unless such director
is specifically removed pursuant to Section 3.5 of
these By-laws at the time of such decrease.
Directors need not be stockholders.
             Section 3.2.	Election and Term of
Directors.  Directors shall be elected annually, by
election at the annual meeting of stockholders or a
special meeting held for that purpose.  The term of
office of each director shall be from the time of
his election and qualification until the annual
election of
directors next succeeding his election or until his
successor shall have been elected and shall have
qualified.  If the annual election of directors is
not held on the date designated therefor, the
directors shall
cause such election to be held as soon thereafter
as convenient.
             Section 3.3.	Newly Created
Directorships and Vacancies.  Newly created
directorships resulting from an increase in the
number of directors shall be filled by vote of the
stockholders or by a vote of a majority of the
directors then in office.  Vacancies occurring in
the Board
for any reason may be filled by election at a
meeting of stockholders or by vote of a majority of
the
directors then in office if immediately after
filling any such vacancy at least two-thirds of the
directors
then holding office shall have been elected to such
office by the holders of the outstanding voting
securities of the Corporation at an annual or
special meeting.  In the event that at any time
less than a
majority of the directors of the Corporation
holding office at that time were elected by the
stockholders, a
meeting of the stockholders shall forthwith be held
as promptly as possible and in any event within 60
days from such time for the purpose of electing
directors to fill any existing vacancies in the
Board unless
the Securities and Exchange Commission shall by
order extend such period.  A director chosen to
fill a
vacancy shall hold office until his death,
resignation or removal or until his successor shall
have been
elected and shall have qualified.
             Section 3.4.	Resignation; Tender of
Resignation.  Any director may resign from his
office at any time either by oral or written tender
of resignation at any meeting of the Board or by
written
tender to the Chairman of the Board, if any, or the
President or by giving written notice to the
Secretary of
the Corporation.  Any such resignation shall take
effect at the time specified therein or, if the
time be not
specified, upon receipt thereof, and the acceptance
of such resignation, unless required by the terms
thereof, shall not be necessary to make such
resignation effective. Any Director who is
nominated for re-
election at a meeting of stockholders and is not
re-elected at that meeting shall be deemed to have
tendered to the Board of Directors his or her
resignation as a Director, with such resignation to
take effect
30 days after the date of the meeting unless the
Board of Directors unanimously decides to reject
that
Director's tender of resignation, in which case the
Director shall continue in office until his death,
resignation or removal or until his successor shall
have been elected and shall have been qualified.
             Section 3.5.	Removal.  Any or all of
the directors may be removed at any time, with
or without cause, by the affirmative vote at a
meeting of the holders of a majority of the stock
outstanding.
             Section 3.6.	Meetings.  Meetings of
the Board, regular or special, may be held at any
place within or without the State of Delaware, or
by conference telephone as provided in Section 3.7
of
these By Laws.  The Board may fix times and places
for regular meetings of the Board. Special meetings
of the Board shall be held whenever called by the
Chairman of the Board, if any, or by the President
or by
at least one-third of the directors for the time
being in office, at such time and place as shall be
specified
in the notice or waiver thereof.  Notice and a
preliminary agenda shall be given to each director
at least
two days prior to the date for such regular
meeting.  Notice of a special meeting of the Board
and a
preliminary agenda for such special meeting shall
be given by the Secretary, or by a person calling
the
meeting, to each director at 24 hours prior to the
date for such special meeting.
             Section 3.7.	Telephone Meetings.
Members of the Board of Directors or a committee
of the board of Directors may participate in a
meeting by means of a conference telephone or
similar
communications equipment if all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other at
the same
time.  Subject to the provisions of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, participation in a
meeting by these means constitutes presence in
person at the meeting.
             Section 3.8.	Quorum and Voting.
One-third of the members of the Board, but not
less than 2, shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business, but, if there be less than
a quorum at
any meeting of the Board, a majority of the
directors present may adjourn the meeting from time
to time,
and no further notice thereof need be given other
than announcement at the meeting which shall be so
adjourned.  Except as otherwise provided by law or
by these By-laws, any act of a majority of the
directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is
present shall be the act of the Board of Directors.
             Section 3.9.	Written Consent of
Directors in Lieu of a Meeting.  Any action
required
or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the
Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may
be
taken without a meeting, if all members of the
Board or of such committee, as the case may be,
consent
thereto in writing and the writing or writings are
filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board
or
committee.
             Section 3.10.	Compensation.
Directors may receive compensation for services to
the
Corporation in their capacities as directors or
otherwise in such manner and in such amounts as may
be
fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
             Section 3.11.	Contracts and
Transactions Involving Directors.  No contract or
transaction between the Corporation and one or more
of its directors or officers, or between the
Corporation and any other corporation, partnership,
association, or other organization in which one or
more of its directors or officers are directors or
officers, or have a financial interest, shall be
void or
voidable solely for this reason, or solely because
the director or officer is present at or
participates in the
meeting of the Board or committee thereof which
authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely
because
his or their votes are counted for such purpose,
if: (1) the material facts as to his relationship
or interest
and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed
or are known to the Board of Directors or the
committee, and the Board or committee in good faith
authorizes the contract or transaction by the
affirmative votes of a majority of the
disinterested directors, even though the
disinterested directors be
less than a quorum; or (2) the material facts as to
his relationship or interest and as to the contract
or
transaction are disclosed or are known to the
shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the
contract or
transaction is specifically approved in good faith
by vote of the shareholders; or (3) the contract or
transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the
time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the
Board
of Directors, a committee thereof, or the
stockholders.  Common or interested directors may
be counted in
determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting
of the Board of Directors or of a committee which
authorizes the contract or transaction.
             Section 3.12.	Qualifications.
Directors need not be stockholders.  Each Director
shall
hold office until the earlier of:  (a) the
expiration of his term and his or her successor
shall have been
elected and qualifies, (b) his or her death, (c)
his or her resignation or (d) his or her removal.
To be
eligible for nomination as a director a person
must, at the time of such person's nomination, have
Relevant Experience and Regional Knowledge (as
defined below) and must not have any Conflict of
Interest (as defined below).  Whether a proposed
nominee satisfies the foregoing qualifications
shall be
determined by the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion.  "Relevant Experience and Regional
Knowledge" means experience in business,
investment, economic or political matters of Taiwan
or Asia
through service (1) for 10 of the past 20 years as

Corporation Law and all other applicable laws of
the
State of Delaware, subject to the requirements of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
the rules and regulations thereunder.
             Section 6.2.	No provision of these
By-laws shall protect or indemnify any director or
officer of the Corporation against any liability to
the Corporation or its security holders to which he
would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of
his office ("disabling conduct").  Moreover, no
officer
or director of the Corporation shall receive any
indemnification from the Corporation against any
liability
to the Corporation or its security holders to which
such officer would otherwise be subject unless
there
has been (1) a final decision on the merits by a
court or other body before whom the preceding
alleging
liability was brought that the officer or director
to be indemnified (the "indemnitee") was not liable
by
reason of disabling conduct, or (2) a reasonable
determination, based upon a review of the facts,
that the
indemnitee was not liable by reason of disabling
conduct, by (i) the vote of a majority of a quorum
of the
corporation's directors who are neither "interested
directors" as defined in the Investment Company Act
of
1940, as amended, nor parties to the preceding
("disinterested non-party directors"), or (ii) an
independent
legal counsel in a written opinion.  In addition,
no indemnitee shall receive from the Corporation an
advance of attorneys' fees or other expenses
incurred by him in defending a proceeding alleging
such
liability except upon the undertaking of such
indemnitee to repay the advance unless it is
ultimately
determined that he is entitled to indemnification
but only if at least one of the following is also
required as
a condition to the advance: (1) the indemnitee
shall provide a security for his undertaking, (2)
the
Corporation shall be insured against losses arising
by reason of any lawful advances, or (3) a majority
of a
quorum of the disinterested, non-party directors of
the Corporation, or an independent legal counsel in
a
written opinion, shall determine, based on a review
of readily available facts (as opposed to a full
trial-
type inquiry), that there is reason to believe that
the indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to
indemnification.

the Fund
represented by certificates and upon request every
holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled
to have

be, attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is
