China's auto boom had already shifted into high gear before Ford (F -1.92%) got serious about expanding in the Middle Kingdom, but the Blue Oval has been working hard to make up for lost time.

Ford's Focus -- sold in two different versions in China -- has already become one of China's best-selling cars, and more models from Ford's global lineup are gaining traction in the world's largest auto market.

In this video, Fool.com contributor John Rosevear looks at Ford's latest sales numbers from China, and explains why Ford is doing so well -- and what's up next for the Blue Oval's Asian campaign.
