First chairman of China (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mao

(Other definitions for mao that I've seen before include "The familiar Tse-Tung" , "Old Chinese "Chairman"" , "Communist leader of China" , "Eastern leader" , "- Zedong, Chinese communist leader" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
