Country on the South China Sea (6)

I believe the answer is:

brunei

(Other definitions for brunei that I've seen before include "State on Borneo" , "Commonwealth country" , "Oil-rich country of Southeast Asia" , "major source of oil" , "Sultanate in northwest Borneo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
