She gets involved with nice nationality (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chinese

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

'nationality' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'she gets involved with nice' is the wordplay.
'gets involved with' indicates an anagram.
'she' with its letters mixed up with 'nice' can make 'CHINESE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chinese that I've seen before include "- Chequers; - leaves; - puzzle" , "See 13" , "Oriental language" , "Member of Han people" , "from the east" .)
