The best part of Chinese literature (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elite

'the best part' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'of chinese literature' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ELITE' is hidden in the letters of 'chinese literature'.

(Other definitions for elite that I've seen before include "twelve pitch in the office" , "Choice; best" , "Exclusive group" , "Best, privileged, group" , "A privileged class of people" .)
