Chinese city — Swiss state (6)

I believe the answer is:

canton

(Other definitions for canton that I've seen before include "It cannot be in Switzerland" , "European territory" , "Old Chinatown" , "Administrative division of Switzerland" , "Old 5 [CHINESE] city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
