Asian city keeps invading American city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lhasa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'asian city' is the definition.
'lhasa' can be an answer for 'city' (Lhasa is an example). I'm not certain of the 'asian' bit.

'keeps invading american city' is the wordplay.
'keeps' becomes 'has' (keep can mean to have or possess).
'invading' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'american city' becomes 'LA' (short for Los Angeles).
'has' put within 'la' is 'LHASA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lhasa that I've seen before include "Group; stripe" , "Tibetan capital" , "Luxembourg's a" , "Asian capital" , "The Forbidden City in Tibet" .)
