Another interesting China fact

All of China is on one time zone, based on Beijing time, since Beijing is the capital. If the US worked like that, when it was 9am in Washington, DC, it would be 9am in Honolulu.

If China were divided into multiple time zones, it would be five separate zones. Apparently, each government gets to decide how many zones there are for that country. Before the Chinese Civil War in 1949, there were separate time zones. They observed summer daylight savings time from 1986-1991, according to Wikipedia.

Everything's different here.
