Police ran new organisation in China (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

porcelain

'china' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'police ran new organisation' is the wordplay.
'new organisation' indicates anagramming the letters.
'police'+'ran'='policeran'
'policeran' is an anagram of 'PORCELAIN'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for porcelain that I've seen before include "Fine earthenware" , "fragile goods" , "Fine white ceramic" , "Fine white China" , "Jasper, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
