                     STATEMENT RE: ONGOING ISSUE OF SHARES





15 December 2006



The Board of JPMorgan Chinese Investment Trust plc (the 'Company') announces
that the Company has today published a supplementary prospectus (the 
'Supplementary') approved by the UKLA.  This document is supplemental to, and
should be read in conjunction with, the prospectus of the Company dated 7 July
2006 (the 'Prospectus') in connection with the proposed issue of up to
50,000,000 New Shares.



Publication of the Supplementary enables the Company to seek admission to the
Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange of further new shares,
while remaining compliant with the UKLA's Prospectus Rules.  Under these rules a
supplementary prospectus is required, following publication of the Company's
annual report for the financial year ended 30 September 2006, which constitutes
a significant new factor relating to information included in the Prospectus.
