China standard time or Beijing time is the time zone observed in the People's Republic of China (PRC). It is eight hours ahead of UTC (UTC+8).^[1]

Certain regions of eastern Asia, including Greater China, also observe time zones which have the same offset, but use different names, such as Chungyuan Standard Time, Philippine Standard Time, Singapore Standard Time, etc.

The PRC observed daylight saving time from 1986 through 1991, but does not now.^[2]

Other time zones in the PRC

Although the only official time zone in the PRC is Beijing Time, the People's Congress of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, due to its geographical location in the westernmost part of the country, proclaimed Ürümqi Time (UTC+6), two hours behind Beijing. Although this is not officially recognised, it is the time observed locally by most residents.^[3]
