Crossword Genius

Country some reach in Asia (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

china

'country' is the definition.
(China is an example)

'some reach in asia' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'CHINA' is hidden within 'reach in asia'.

(Other definitions for china that I've seen before include "foreign country" , "country out east" , "friend or companion" , "Dresden, perhaps" , "set of porcelain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
