Asian connection, we hear (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thai

'asian' is the definition.
(Thai is an example)

'connection we hear' is the wordplay.
'connection' becomes 'tie' (tie is a kind of connection).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'tie' is a homophone of 'THAI'.

(Other definitions for thai that I've seen before include "A hit (anag)" , "is concerned with an eastern country" , "From Bangkok, for example" , "National" , "Native of Southeast Asia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
