Chinese hard-liner (6)
I believe the answer is:
maoist
'chinese hard-liner' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for maoist that I've seen before include "Follower of the Chinese Chairman's Little Red Book -- Taoism (anag)" , "Advocate of a Chinese form of communism" , "Supporter of a previous Chinese leader" , "Chinese revolutionary" , "Devotee once of the little red book" .)
