Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Templeton China World
Fund

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of Templeton China World Fund (the "Fund") as of and for the year
ended August 31, 2018, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
("PCAOB"), we considered the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting, including controls over 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-CEN, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal
control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we do not express
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting.

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 its 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 a 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 over financial reporting that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB.  However, we
noted no deficiencies the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be a material weakness  as defined
above as of August 31, 2018 .
