"The Greater China region covers an area which encompasses Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau and is home to over 4,100 companies," says Nick Lanyi.
In his High Yield International, he suggests, "Research in this part of the world can be difficult for U.S. investors (who don't even speak Mandarin) to separate the good from the bad. That where The China Fund (NYSE: CHN) comes in."

Those surprised by the market's strength in recent weeks should be even more impressed with the rebound in China, where both their market and economy have proven among the most resilient in the world.
Global specialist Nicholas Vardy adds, "While the US markets are rising, Asian stocks are on fire." ETF expert Paul Tracy adds, "China funds have screamed to the top of the performance charts."
In large part, this strength is due to the country's stimulus program. Tracy points out, "To combat the sagging global economy, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao orchestrated a massive 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) stimulus package.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says if you don't want to wait for a pullback, look abroad for the next leg or find values at home.
What do you do when everyone knows we have come up too far, too fast; no one knows who is actually buying; and we are going into earnings season?
What do you do when the animal spirits are taking up the market and yet other than a handful companies -- Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) (Cramer's Take), Xilinx (NASDAQ: XLNX) (Cramer's Take), Corning (NYSE: GLW) (Cramer's Take), Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) (Cramer's Take) and Taiwan Semi (NYSE: TSM) (Cramer's Take) -- almost all companies that have spoken during the "off-season" earnings reports have been dismal?

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says the near term is muddy, but this mining-equipment maker is a long-term win. Bucyrus International (NASDAQ:
BUCY) (
Cramer's Take) really captures this moment. When I was speaking last night to its terrific CEO, Tim Sullivan, I was conscious that his company's stock is at the fulcrum of everything that is going wrong and everything that is going right in this market.
Bucyrus, if you recall, makes mining equipment. It's really the only game in town other than
Joy Global (NASDAQ:
JOYG) (
Cramer's Take), as the mining machinery business was annihilated by years of underinvestment.
The company became the quintessential play on mining as orders, particularly from China, for new coal mining equipment soared each year. China's opening a new coal-fired energy plant every week, so you know that there's demand.
The hedge funds glommed on to this one big-time. Like in so many that we are familiar with --
MasterCard (NYSE:
MA) (
Cramer's Take),
Trinity (NYSE:
TRN) (
Cramer's Take),
Foster Wheeler (NASDAQ:
FWLT) (
Cramer's Take),
NYSE Euronext (NYSE:
NYX) (
Cramer's Take) and
Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:
FCX) (
Cramer's Take) -- they took concentrated positions in this and Joy Global and intended to ride the commodity boom for years.
