A China time zone map is unique because the entire country officially follows China Standard Time (CST, UTC+8), despite spanning five geographical time zones. This means that from Beijing to Xinjiang, the clocks show the same time. While this ensures national unity, local communities in western China sometimes use unofficial local time.
