Scheduling across borders is where time zones bite: a 9 PM stream in Beijing is morning in New York, and the gap shifts twice a year with daylight saving. Choose two cities and any moment, and this converter shows the corresponding local time on both sides — using your browser's built-in world clock data, no internet lookup needed.
Time differences from Beijing (CST, UTC+8)
Tokyo and Seoul: +1 hour. Sydney: +2 hours in winter, +3 during Australian daylight time. London: −7 hours (−8 in UK winter). New York: −12 hours (−13 in US winter). Los Angeles: −15 (−16). So 8 PM in Beijing is 8 AM the same morning in New York during US daylight saving time.
Daylight saving, handled
The US shifts clocks in mid-March and early November; Europe moves in late March and late October; China and most of Asia do not observe DST at all. This converter checks the actual rules for your chosen date, so a meeting planned across the DST boundary is still correct.
Scheduling cross-border meetings
Beijing–New York has very little overlap: aim for 8–10 AM Beijing (7–10 PM New York). Beijing–Europe is easier: 3–5 PM Beijing is 8–10 AM in Paris or London. Within Asia (Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore) the gap is 1–3 hours and nearly any time works.
