Time in China (Seyana)

There are eight time zones in the Federal Republic of China, which currently observe times ranging from UTC+05:00 to UTC+09:00. Daylight saving time has not been used since the Communist Chinese Era starting from 1991.

History
During the times of the People's Republic of China, there was only one single standard time, known as Beijing Standard Time domestically, which had an offset of UTC+08:00. Although never made official by the central government, the Xinjiang Time, having an offset of UTC+06:00, and was roughly split along the ethnic divide with most Han Chinese following Beijing and most Uyghurs following Ürümqi Time. While several local authorities were using both time standards side by side, and television stations using both different time standards, a proposal to set an official time zone for the Xinjiang region never reached the central government.

After the fall of the People's Republic of China in 2067, Beijing time continued to see use in most of China for a few years until the rise of several regional nations, which set their own time zones.

By the mid 2080s, all nations that emerged from China set their own time zones, with most having only one time zone except for Sichuan and the Anhui Republic. The time zones for each nation were:


 * Uyghuristan - Xinjiang Time (UTC+05:00)
 * Tibet - Tibet Time (UTC+05:45)
 * Sichuan
 * West - Chengdu Time (UTC+06:00)
 * East - Xi'an Time (UTC+07:00)
 * Yunnan - (UTC+06:30)
 * North China - Beijing Time (UTC+08:00)
 * Anhui Republic
 * Henan-Hubei - Wuhan Time (UTC+07:00)
 * East Anhui - Shanghai Time (UTC+08:00)
 * Guangdong - Guangdong Time (UTC+07:00)

Both Hong Kong and Macau, which came under rule of the Guangdong Republic, were changed to align with their time zone.

The modern time zones in the current Federal Republic of China were established five years after reunification in 2234, using the time zones from the old Republic of China as a base with major modifications and an additional sixth and seventh time zone.

Upon annexation of Tōhoku, Hokkaido, and Sakhalin Island into the FRC after the East Asian War in the 2300s, a new time zone was established, UTC+09:00. UTC+11:00 in Sakhalin continued to see some local use for a time up until its final phrase out by 2360.
