> I'm not aware of a "Chinese copy of Miku". While there have been a few attempts at Chinese Vocaloids, all of the ones I know about are official Vocaloid products using Yamaha's engine and unique voice samples just like the dozens of different Vocaloids that are available in Japan.

There are as of now two official Chinese Vocaloids: Luo Tianyi and Yan He. They are as you say Yamaha-engined and Yamaha-supported, although the company owning the rights currently is VOCANESE.

The "fake Chinese Miku" or "red Miku" is known as Dong Fang Zhi Zi, and was originally a 3D CG character whose voice was actually an autotuned human singing instead of a Vocaloid voicebank. She debuted in 2012 in a Miku-like virtual concert which confused the Chinese just as much as - if not more so than - everyone else (they actually found her extremely weird). She has since received her own UTAU voicebank and can now be counted as an UTAU character like Kasane Teto.
