Question

How many time zones are in China?

Answer 1

Hint: The People’s Republic of China follows a one China policy and has driven its policies for the homogenisation of the nation by all means which makes just one rule for all in China.

Complete answer: The People’s Republic of China spans geographically across five different time zones when measured from the Greenwich Mean time or the Universal Coordinated time as the case may be. However, the country observes one time across all the extent of the territory of China. The time zone of China is +8:00 hours which is the same as the time used in the autonomous regions of china such as Hong Kong and Macau. The Xinjiang province of China observes two different time zones, one being the Beijing time at +8:00 hours and the other being Xinxiang Local time +6:00 hours.

Note: The time zone of China is known as the Beijing Time Zone and is shared by Russian federation and Australia, all of which have +8:00 hours as one of their standard time zones.
