Complex read includes feature: Mao's domain (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red china

'mao's domain' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'complex read includes feature' is the wordplay.
'complex' indicates anagramming the letters.
'includes' is an insertion indicator.
'feature' becomes 'chin' (facial feature).
'read' anagrammed gives 'reda'.
'reda' placed around 'chin' is 'RED CHINA'.

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
