| 232# From Paul Eggert (2008-02-11): 233# I just now checked Google News for western news sources that talk 234# about China's single time zone, and couldn't find anything before 1986 235# talking about China being in one time zone. (That article was: Jim 236# Mann, "A clumsy embrace for another western custom: China on daylight 237# time--sort of", Los Angeles Times, 1986-05-05. By the way, this 238# article confirms the tz database's data claiming that China began 239# observing daylight saving time in 1986. 240# 241# From Thomas S. Mullaney (2008-02-11): 242# I think you're combining two subjects that need to treated 243# separately: daylight savings (which, you're correct, wasn't 244# implemented until the 1980s) and the unified time zone centered near 245# Beijing (which was implemented in 1949). Briefly, there was also a 246# "Lhasa Time" in Tibet and "Urumqi Time" in Xinjiang. The first was 247# ceased, and the second eventually recognized (again, in the 1980s). 248# 249# From Paul Eggert (2008-06-30): 250# There seems to be a good chance China switched to a single time zone in 1949 251# rather than in 1980 as Shanks & Pottenger have it, but we don't have a 252# reliable documentary source saying so yet, so for now we still go with 253# Shanks & Pottenger. |
