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..
