Investopedia: Can China Yuchai Rev Up Your Portfolio?

Sometimes it seems that investing in China is all about finding the "Chinese version" of some successful Western company. Gome is the "Chinese Best Buy (NYSE:BBY)," Lenovo is the "Chinese Dell (Nasdaq:DELL)," Zhongpin (Nasdaq:HOGS) is the "Chinese Smithfield (NYSE:SFD)," etc. 
With that in mind, then, is
China Yuchai (NYSE:CYD) the "Chinese version" of Cummins (NYSE:CMI), the successful Indiana-based diesel engine manufacturer? More to the point, as the risks of investing in Chinese stocks become more widely-known, is this a name investors can trust as a play on the ongoing growth of China's industrial and transportation sectors? (For more, see Investing In China.)

China Yuchai reported that fourth quarter revenue rose almost 24% to about $607 million, largely on the back of a nearly 14% increase in unit sales. While pricing was strong in general, the company also benefited from an going migration towards heavy-duty engines making up a larger portion of the sales mix.
