Time Zones

China is in the GMT +8:00 time zone.

This is equivalent to a thirteen hour time change between China and the US east coast, eleven and a half hours between Newfoundland and China, an eight hour time change from Britain to China, seven hours from continental Europe, six hours between Africa and China, and a whopping sixteen hours from the north american west coast to China.
For China time, unless you're in Japan or somewhere else to the east of China and west of the international date line, just think "later today (or perhaps tomorrow)". If in doubt the sun clock will give you a sense of where it's day or night.

Ha ha - you caught me being cranky (I've since edited the post, as originally promised) It seems Blogger has been upgrading their offering, and they have numerous bugs which appear without warning or apparent logic. That's what makes them bugs ;-) Mostly these have been problems relating to layout or uploading images, with the occasional ordinary-post bug.
