1.

Organization

Templeton

China

World

Fund

(Fund)

is

registered

under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940

(1940

Act)

as

an

open-end

management

investment

company

and

applies

the

specialized

accounting

and

reporting

guidance

in

U.S.

Generally

Accepted

Accounting

Principles

(U.S.

GAAP). 

2. Financial

Instrument

Valuation

The

Fund's investments

in

financial

instruments

are

carried

at

fair

value

daily.

Fair

value

is

the

price

that

would

be

received

to

sell

an

asset

or

paid

to

transfer

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

between

market

participants

on

the

measurement

date.

The

Fund

calculates the

net

asset

value

(NAV)

per

share

each

business

day

as

of

4

p.m.

Eastern

time

or

the

regularly

scheduled

close

of

the

New

York

Stock

Exchange

(NYSE),

whichever

is

earlier.

Under

compliance

policies

and

procedures

approved

by

the

Fund’s

Board

of

Trustees

(the

Board),

the

Fund’s

administrator

has

responsibility

for

oversight

of

valuation,

including

leading

the

cross-functional

Valuation

Committee

(VC).

The

Fund

may

utilize

independent

pricing

services,

quotations

from

securities

and

financial

instrument

dealers,

and

other

market

sources

to

determine

fair

value. 

Equity

securities

listed

on

an

exchange

or

on

the

NASDAQ

National

Market

System

are

valued

at

the

last

quoted

sale

price

or

the

official

closing

price

of

the

day,

respectively.

Foreign

equity

securities

are

valued

as

of

the

close

of

trading

on

the

foreign

stock

exchange

on

which

the

security

is

primarily

traded

or

as

of

4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

The

value

is

then

converted

into

its

U.S.

dollar

equivalent

at

the

foreign

exchange

rate

in

effect

at

4

p.m. Eastern

time

on

the

day

that

the

value

of

the

security

is

determined.

Over-the-counter

(OTC)

securities

are

valued

within

the

range

of

the

most

recent

quoted

bid

and

ask

prices.

Securities

that

trade

in

multiple

markets

or

on

multiple

exchanges

are

valued

according

to

the

broadest

and

most

representative

market.

Certain

equity

securities

are

valued

based

upon

fundamental

characteristics

or

relationships

to

similar

securities. 

Investments

in

open-end

mutual

funds

are

valued

at

the

closing

NAV.

The

Fund

has procedures

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments

for

which

market

prices

are

not

reliable

or

readily

available.

Under

these

procedures,

the

Fund

primarily employs

a

market-based

approach

which

may

use

related

or

comparable

assets

or

liabilities,

recent

transactions,

market

multiples,

book

values,

and

other

relevant

information

for

the

investment

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

the

investment.

An

income-based

valuation

approach

may

also

be

used

in

which

the

anticipated

future

cash

flows

of

the

investment

are

discounted

to

calculate

fair

value.

Discounts

may

also

be

applied

due

to

the

nature

or

duration

of

any

restrictions

on

the

disposition

of

the

investments.

Due

to

the

inherent

uncertainty

of

valuations

of

such

investments,

the

fair

values

may

differ

significantly

from

the

values

that

would

have

been

used

had

an

active

market

existed. 

Trading

in

securities

on

foreign

securities

stock

exchanges

and

OTC

markets

may

be

completed

before

4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

In

addition,

trading

in

certain

foreign

markets

may

not

take

place

on

every

Fund’s

business

day.

Events

can

occur

between

the

time

at

which

trading

in

a

foreign

security

is

completed

and

4

p.m.

Eastern

time

that

might

call

into

question

the

reliability

of

the

value

of

a

portfolio

security

held

by

the

Fund.

As

a

result,

differences

may

arise

between

the

value

of

the

Fund’s

portfolio securities

as

determined

at

the

foreign

market

close

and

the

latest

indications

of

value

at

4

p.m.

Eastern

time.

In

order

to

minimize

the

potential

for

these

differences,

an

independent

pricing

service

may

be

used

to

adjust

the

value

of

the

Fund's

portfolio

securities

to

the

latest

indications

of

fair

value

at 4

p.m

Eastern

time.

At

November

30,

2020,

certain

securities

may

have

been

fair

valued

using

these

procedures,

in

which

case

the

securities

were

categorized

as

Level

2

inputs

within

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

See

the

Fair

Value

Measurements

note

for

more

information.

When

the

last

day

of

the

reporting

period

is

a

non-business

day,

certain

foreign

markets

may

be

open

on

those

days

that

the

Fund’s

NAV

is

not

calculated,

which

could

result

in

differences

between

the

value

of

the

Fund’s

portfolio

securities

on

the

last

business

day

and

the

last

calendar

day

of

the

reporting

period.

Any

security

valuation

changes

due

to

an

open

foreign

market

are

adjusted

and

reflected

by

the

Fund for

financial

reporting

purposes.

3.

Concentration

of

Risk 

Investing

in

securities

of

"China

companies"

may

include

certain

risks

and

considerations

not

typically

associated

with

investing

in

U.S.

securities.

In

general,

China

companies

are

those

that

are

organized

under

the

laws

of,

or

with

a

principal

office

or

principal

trading

market

in,

the

People’s

Republic

of

China,

Hong

Kong,

or

Taiwan.

Such

risks

include

fluctuating

currency

values

and

changing

local, regional

and

global

economic,

political

and

social

conditions,

which

may

result

in

greater

market

volatility.

In

addition,

these

securities

may

not

be

as

liquid

as

U.S.

securities. 

4. Novel

Coronavirus

Pandemic 

The

global

outbreak

of

the

novel

coronavirus

disease,

known

as

COVID-19, has

caused

adverse

effects

on

many

companies,

sectors,

nations,

regions

and

the

markets

in

general, and

may

continue for

an unpredictable duration.

The

effects

of

this

pandemic

may

materially

impact

the

value

and

performance

of

the Fund, its ability

to

buy

and

sell

fund

investments

at

appropriate

valuations

and its ability

to

achieve its investment

objectives.

5.

Investments

in

Companies 

The

invests

in

one

or

more

affiliated

management

investment

companies

for

purposes

other

than

exercising

a

controlling

influence

over

the

management

or

policies.

During

the

6. Fair

Value

Measurements 

The Fund

follows a

fair

value

hierarchy

that

distinguishes

between

market

data

obtained

from

independent

sources

(observable

inputs)

and

the Fund's

own

market

assumptions

(unobservable

inputs).

These

inputs

are

used

in

determining

the

value

of

the

Fund's

financial

instruments

and

are

summarized

in

the

following

fair

value

hierarchy:

• Level

1

–

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

financial

instruments

• Level

2

–

other

significant

observable

inputs

(including

quoted

prices

for

similar

financial

instruments,

interest

rates,

prepayment

speed,

credit

risk,

etc.)

• Level

3

–

significant

unobservable
