Unsettled, since he is from a far country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chinese

'from a far country' is the definition.

'unsettled since he' is the wordplay.
'unsettled' is an anagram indicator.
'since'+'he'='sincehe'
'sincehe' with letters rearranged gives 'CHINESE'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chinese that I've seen before include "Foreign" , "From Shanghai, say?" , "Of the most populous country" , "Oriental language" , "Since he, strangely, is this nationality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
