card or by submitting a notice of revocation to the Fund prior to the date of the Meeting or in person at the Meeting. All properly executed proxies received in time for the Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy or, if no specification is
made, for the election of the directors as described in Proposal&nbsp;1 of this Proxy Statement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The presence in person or by
proxy of stockholders entitled to cast one third of the votes entitled to be cast thereat constitutes a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting,
executed proxies returned without marking a vote on Proposal&nbsp;1 will be treated as shares that are present for quorum purposes. Abstentions are included in the determination of the number of shares present at the Meeting for purposes of
determining the presence of a quorum. <B>If a stockholder is present in person or by proxy at the Meeting but does not cast a vote, the stockholder&#146;s shares will count towards a quorum but will have no effect on Proposal&nbsp;1. </B>In the
event a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or in the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to Proposal 1 are not received, holders of a majority of the stock present in person or by proxy have power to adjourn the
meeting. If a quorum is present, a shareholder vote may be taken on Proposal&nbsp;1 prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval and it is otherwise appropriate. The chairman of the Meeting may adjourn any meeting of
stockholders from time to time to a date not more than 120&nbsp;days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which
might have been transacted at the Meeting as originally notified. The Fund may set a subsequent record date and give notice of it to stockholders, in which case the meeting may be held not more than 120&nbsp;days beyond the subsequent record date.
The Fund may postpone or cancel a meeting of stockholders by making a public announcement (as defined in the Fund&#146;s By-Laws) of such postponement or cancellation prior to the meeting. Notice of the date, time, and place to which the meeting is
postponed is required to be given not less than ten days prior to such date and otherwise in the manner set forth in the Fund&#146;s By-Laws. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) is to be divided into three classes: Class&nbsp;I, Class&nbsp;II and Class&nbsp;III. The terms of office of the present directors (each a &#147;Director&#148;) in each class expire at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders in the year indicated or thereafter in each case when their respective successors are elected and qualified: Class&nbsp;I, 2018; Class&nbsp;II, 2016; and Class&nbsp;III, 2017. At each subsequent annual election, Directors chosen to
succeed those whose terms are expiring will be identified as being in the same class and will be elected for a three-year term. The effect of these staggered terms is to limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund
by delaying the replacement of a majority of the Board. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The term of Messrs. Gary L. French, Michael F. Holland and Li Jin

Fund&#146;s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until each of their successors is duly elected and qualified. At a meeting held on September&nbsp;17, 2015, the Board expanded the size of the Board of Directors and elected Ms.&nbsp;Linda&nbsp;C.
Coughlin to serve as a Class&nbsp;III Director. At a meeting held on December&nbsp;4, 2015, the Board nominated Ms.&nbsp;Coughlin for election by stockholders to serve as a Class III Director of the Fund until the Fund&#146;s 2017 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders or until her successor is duly elected and qualified. Ms.&nbsp;Coughlin is standing for election by stockholders of the Fund for the first time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy card intend, in the absence of contrary instructions, to vote all proxies for the elections of Messrs. Gary L. French, Michael F. Holland and Li Jin to
serve for a term expiring on the date on which the Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held in 2019, or until their successors are elected and qualified and for the election of Ms.&nbsp;Linda Coughlin as a Class III Director to serve for a term
expiring on the date on which the Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held in 2017, or until her successor is elected and qualified. The nominees have indicated that they will serve if elected. If a nominee should be unable to serve, an event not now
anticipated, the proxies will be voted for such person, if any, as is designated by the Board to replace the nominee. The election of a Director will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting. Presence at the
meeting, in person or by proxy, of a stockholder who does not cast a vote will have no effect on the outcome of the election. </FONT></P>

Board is responsible for overseeing the operations of the Fund in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, other applicable laws and the Fund&#146;s Articles of Incorporation. The Board is composed of seven Independent Directors and one of
the Independent Directors serves as Chairman of the Board. Generally, the Board acts by majority vote of all of the Directors, including a majority vote of the Independent Directors if required by applicable law. The Fund&#146;s day-to-day
operations are managed by Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC, the Fund&#146;s Investment Manager, and other service providers who have been approved by the Board. The Board meets periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund&#146;s activities,
review contractual arrangements with service providers, oversee compliance with regulatory requirements and review performance. The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate given the size of the Board, the fact that all of
the Directors are not interested persons, and the nature of the Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Directors were selected to serve and continue on

requirements governing regulated investment companies and the special responsibilities of investment company directors as a result of his substantial prior service as a Director or officer of the Fund and, in several cases, as a director of other
investment companies. Ms.&nbsp;Coughlin has significant experience with the special regulatory requirements governing regulated investment companies and the special responsibilities of investment company directors as a result of her prior service as

members of the Audit Committee are Ms.&nbsp;Coughlin and Messrs.&nbsp;French, Holland, Kirby, Li Jin, Rogers and Shore. All members of the Audit Committee are independent as independence is defined in the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.&#146;s listing
standards, as may be modified or supplemented. The Audit Committee was established in accordance with Section&nbsp;3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;1934 Act&#148;). The Audit Committee met five times during
the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2015. The Audit Committee has a charter which is available on the Fund&#146;s website (www.chinafundinc.com). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Fund&#146;s Board has a Nominating and Compensation Committee, comprised of the current members of the Audit Committee, which is responsible for nominating candidates to fill any vacancies on the

Fund. Currently, the Nominating and Compensation Committee does not have a policy to consider nominees recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and Compensation Committee believes that it is not necessary to have such a policy because the Board
consists entirely of Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund (as defined in Section&nbsp;2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act). The Nominating and Compensation Committee evaluates a candidate&#146;s qualifications for Board membership and the
candidate&#146;s independence from the Fund&#146;s Investment Manager and other principal service providers. The Nominating and Compensation Committee does not have specific minimum qualifications that must be met by candidates recommended by the
Nominating and Compensation Committee and there is not a specific process for identifying such candidates. In nominating candidates, the Nominating and Compensation Committee takes into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate. These
factors may include judgment, skill, diversity, experience with businesses or other organizations of comparable size, the interplay of the candidate&#146;s experience with the experience of other Board members, requirements of the New York Stock
Exchange and the SEC to maintain a minimum number of independent or non-interested directors, requirements of the SEC as to disclosure regarding persons with financial expertise on the Fund&#146;s audit committee and the extent to which the
candidate generally would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees of the Board. The Committee believes the Board generally benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this a factor in

management of risk, is performed by third party service providers, such as the Fund&#146;s Investment Manager (Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC) and Administrator (State Street Bank and Trust Company). The Directors are responsible for overseeing
the Fund&#146;s service providers and thus have oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management performed by those service providers. Risk management seeks to identify and address risks, i.e., events or circumstances that could have
material adverse effects on the business, operations, stockholder services, investment performance or reputation of the Fund. The Fund and its service providers employ a variety of processes, procedures and controls to identify certain of those
possible events or circumstances, to lessen the probability of their occurrence and/or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified nor can controls be developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. It may not be practical or cost effective to eliminate or
mitigate certain risks, the processes and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness, and some risks are simply beyond the reasonable control of the Fund or the Investment Manager or other service providers.
Moreover, it is necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the Fund&#146;s goals. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Fund&#146;s ability to manage risk is subject to substantial limitations.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Risk oversight forms part of the Board&#146;s general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and
Committee activities. As part of its regular oversight of the Fund, the Board, directly or through a Committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, the Investment Manager, the Fund&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer and the
Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund. The Board is responsible for overseeing the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Investment Manager and
receives information about those services at its regular meetings. In addition, on an annual basis, in connection with its consideration of whether to renew the Fund&#146;s Advisory Agreements, the Board meets with the Investment Manager to review
the services provided. Among other things, the Board regularly considers the Investment Manager&#146;s adherence to the Fund&#146;s investment restrictions and compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities
regulations. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer who oversees the implementation and testing of the Fund&#146;s compliance program and reports to the Board regarding compliance matters for the Fund and its service providers. The
Board, with the assistance of the Investment Manager, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of the Fund&#146;s performance. In addition, as part of the Board&#146;s oversight of the Fund&#146;s Investment Manager and
other service provider agreements, the Board may periodically consider risk management aspects of their operations and the functions for which they are responsible. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
