Mandlikova seen in Chinese area (4)
I believe the answer is:
hana
'mandlikova seen' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'chinese area' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'chinese' could be 'han' (Chinese dynasty) and 'han' is located in the answer.
'area' could be 'a' (maths abbreviation) and 'a' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
