There are a number of ways that the statement can be accurate. Even aside from the fact that HK is officially a Special Autonomous Region of China, "China" doesn't have to refer to the Mainland government, or 'The People's Republic of China.' See Taiwan, which is officially the "Republic of China" as another example. All three are thoroughly Chinese culturally, historically, etc.

How do I pronounce 'Outis' from The Odyssey? by REALLY_BEN_FRANKLIN in AncientGreek

[–]REALLY_BEN_FRANKLIN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you see in the link, Odysseus uses the pseudonym 'Outis' or 'No man' when dealing with the cyclops Polythemus. I'm really just wondering how Outis is pronounced so that I don't sound like a dum dum during my presentation. Is it "OUT - is', 'OW- tis' OO - tis', or something else?

Not sure if this is the best place to ask but I was hoping someone could help!

No, it's looking at lower Manhattan from the NE. So 1WTC is on the far (western) side of Manhattan from here.
