Fabric first made in China (4)

I believe the answer is:

silk

(Other definitions for silk that I've seen before include "Fabric from fibre made by "worm"" , "Smooth material" , "Barman" , "Fabric obtained from the cocoon of a worm" , "Fine fabric -- senior barrister" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
