China economy centres around this body of water (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocean

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

This could be a double definition.

'china economy centres around this body' is the first definition.
'ocean' can be an answer for 'body' (I have seen 'Body of water ' mean 'ocean' so perhaps 'body' could also mean 'ocean'). I am unsure of the remainder of the definition.

'water' is the second definition.
(ocean is a kind of water)

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ocean that I've seen before include "Large expanse of water" , "Large amount of water and" , "Vast sea" , "Indian or Arctic, say" , "Main" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
