Morality of a sect wandering around part of China (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethics

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

'morality' is the definition.
(I know that morality can be written as ethics)

'a sect wandering around part of china' is the wordplay.
'wandering' is an anagram indicator.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'part of china' becomes 'hi' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sect' anagrammed gives 'etcs'.
'etcs' enclosing 'hi' is 'ETHICS'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ethics that I've seen before include "Set of moral principles" , "Code of integrity in business" , "Science of morals" , "System of morals" , "Codes of standards in business" .)
