chinatown

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

'part of the city' is the definition.
'Chinatown' can be an answer for 'city' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'part of the' bit.

'pottery won't break in' is the wordplay.
'pottery' becomes 'china' (I've seen this before).
'break' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wont' is an anagram of 'town'.
'china' inserted within 'town' is 'CHINATOWN'.

'this' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
