Country whose current leader's surname is also a Roman numeral (5)

I believe the answer is:

china

(Other definitions for china that I've seen before include "service" , "Friend (rhyming slang)" , "Ceramic; mate" , "porcelain vessels?" , "Country; friend (slang)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
