China’s art turned out to be revolutionary (9)
I believe the answer is:
anarchist
'be revolutionary' is the definition.
'china's art turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' is an anagram indicator.
'chinas'+'art'='chinasart'
'chinasart' with letters rearranged gives 'ANARCHIST'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for anarchist that I've seen before include "One tries to overthrow government by violence" , "supporter of lawlessness" , "One favours the abolition of governments" , "bolshevik" , "disorderly person" .)
