Changjiang or Mekong (5)
I believe the answer is:
river
'changjiang or mekong' is the definition.
(I know that Yangtze is a river)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for river that I've seen before include "Type of watercourse" , "Current" , "course of 1d [ADVENTURE]" , "Large natural stream of water" , "Exe, Po" .)
