Way to stop European prizes going to China? (9)
I believe the answer is:
eastwards
'going to china?' is the definition.
(China is in the east)
'way to stop european prizes' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'way' could be 'st' (abbreviation for street) and 'st' is located in the answer.
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'prizes' could be 'awards' ('award' can be a synonym of 'prize') and 'awards' is found within the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eastwards that I've seen before include "direction?" , "To a point" , "Towards the Orient" .)
