I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'feature on quarters far eastern' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'feature on quarters far eastern' is the wordplay.
'feature' becomes 'chin' (facial feature).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'quarters far' becomes 'es' (I am not sure about the 'far' bit.).
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'chin'+'es'+'e'='CHINESE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chinese that I've seen before include "From Shanghai, say?" , "Member of Han people" , "Widely-spoken language" , "See 13" , "from an Asian country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
