China's standard warning? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
red flag
'warning?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'china's standard' is the wordplay.
'china' becomes 'Red China' (synonyms).
'standard' becomes 'flag' (I've seen this before).
'red'+'flag'='RED FLAG'
(Other definitions for red flag that I've seen before include "A number of revolutionaries" , "Warning to stop" , "Left-wing symbol" , "Sign of trouble" , "Emblem of socialism" .)
