China provoke leader of Taiwan (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
tea set
'china' is the definition.
(a tea set might be made of china)
'provoke leader of taiwan' is the wordplay.
'provoke' becomes 'tease' (I've seen this before).
'leader of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'taiwan' is 't'.
'tease'+'t'='TEA-SET'
(Other definitions for tea set that I've seen before include "China for small meal" , "Set of crockery for serving light meal" , "Matching plates, cups, etc" , "Equipment for an afternoon meal" , "Collection of crockery from estate" .)
