One among seven hills in China coming to a point (8)
I believe the answer is:
palatine
'one among seven hills' is the definition.
(one of the seven hills of Rome)
'china coming to a point' is the wordplay.
'china' becomes 'pal' (I've seen this before).
'coming to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'point' becomes 'tine' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pal'+'a'+'tine'='PALATINE'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for palatine that I've seen before include "One of the seven hills of Rome" , "Hill" , "Having royal privileges" .)
