9# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
10# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
11# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
12# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
13#
14# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
15# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
16# I found in the UCLA library.
17#
18# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
19# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude,
20# Oxford University Press (1980).
21#
22# I invented the abbreviations marked `*' in the following table;
23# the rest are from earlier versions of this file, or from other sources.

172# From Guy Harris:
173# People's Republic of China. Yes, they really have only one time zone.
174
175# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
176# No they don't. See TIME mag, February 17, 1986 p.52. Even though
177# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
178# Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
179# has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
180# the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
181#
182# . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
183# painful to suck in another copy.. So, here is what I have for
184# DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):
185#
186# 1986 May 4 - Sept 14
187# 1987 mid-April - ??
188
|
182# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
183# According to Shanks, China started using DST in 1986,
184# but it's still all one big happy time zone.
185
|
189# From U. S. Naval Observatory (January 19, 1989):
190# CHINA 8 H AHEAD OF UTC ALL OF CHINA, INCL TAIWAN
191# CHINA 9 H AHEAD OF UTC APR 17 - SEP 10

190# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
|
| 193# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19): |
194# Shanks writes that China switched from the Chinese calendar on 1912 Feb 12.
195# He also writes that China has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1,
|
193# and that they instituted DST on 1986 May 4; this contradicts Devine's
|
| 196# observing summer DST from 1986 through 1991; this contradicts Devine's |
197# note about Time magazine, though apparently _something_ happened in 1986.
|
| 198# Go with Shanks for now. I made up names for the other pre-1980 time zones. |

492# on the party the Minister of Interior, the size of the coalition
493# government, the phase of the moon and the direction of the wind. Hence,
494# changes may need to be made on a semi-annual basis. One thing is entrenched

498# back to standard time on Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time
