What's the time difference between Eastern Time and Beijing Time?

The time zone in the eastern part of the United States is West Zone 5, and the time zone in Beijing is East Zone 8. The time difference is 8-(-5)=8+5= 13, so the eastern part of the United States is 13 hours later than Beijing time.

From the east coast to the west coast, the United States spans from West Zone 5 to West 10, with six time zones.

1. Eastern Time-Eastern Time (ET) (time in the fifth district of the west) Washington, D.C., new york, Boston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Miami, etc. All in this time zone.

Second, Central Time-Central Time (CT) (the sixth district time in the west) Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, Houston, etc. All in this time zone.

Third, the mountain time-mountain time (mt) (West Seventh District time) Denver, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, etc. All in this time zone.

4. Pacific Time-Pacific Time Zone (PST) (west eight time) Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas and Seattle are all in this time zone.

5. Alaska-Hawaii Time-Alaska-Hawaii Time (West 9th District Time and West 10th District Time) Alaska and Hawaii are in this time zone.

Extended data:

The United States adopts the summer and winter dual-time system, one is daylight saving time and the other is winter time (that is, standard time). Daylight saving time is one hour earlier than standard time. The United States began to modify the season in 2007, with daylight saving time on the second Sunday of March and winter time on the first Sunday of 1 1 month. Arizona, Indiana and Hawaii do not use daylight saving time.

The United States implements daylight saving time, and Beijing time is just 12 hours earlier than the eastern United States (E.T. for short). In non-daylight saving time, Beijing time is earlier than Eastern Time 13 hours. Therefore, the time difference between China and America can be divided into standard time difference between China and America and daylight saving time difference between China and America. Because there is only one time standard in China, which is Beijing time.
