interesting, so if China did have time zones it would look like this

But since they are all in the green +8 time zone, that means the people on the far west side of China have to function at 5am the same way people are expected to function at 8am.

And when everybody's going to bed around 10pm, the far west of China has to go to bed at what is actually 7pm according to the sun.
