                     JPMORGAN CHINESE INVESTMENT TRUST PLC




               PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE OF SUBSCRIPTION SHARES AND
                OFFER FOR SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW ORDINARY SHARES

The Board of JPMorgan Chinese Investment Trust plc is considering proposals to
enlarge the Company through a bonus issue of Subscription Shares to current
shareholders and, subject to market conditions, an offer for subscription of new
Ordinary Shares with Subscription Shares attached to current shareholders and
new investors.  The Board believes that over the longer term investment in
Greater China will deliver strong capital growth and that Subscription Shares
represent an attractive option to subscribe in the future for further Ordinary
Shares in the Company.  The terms of the Subscription Shares will be set out in
a circular to be sent to shareholders.


A further announcement will be made in due course.
