Add comparison cities: Click + Add City and search for cities such as New York, London, and Dubai. These are practical comparisons for manufacturing, trading, and logistics workflows because Chinese exporters often coordinate with North American buyers, UK partners, and Gulf-region importers during overlapping business hours.
Select a meeting window on the grid: Click Select to enter selection mode, then drag across Jiaozuo’s row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to highlight that range in purple. On a standard-date comparison, this shows that 9:00 AM in Jiaozuo is 1:00 AM in London during UK winter or 2:00 AM during UK summer, 8:00 PM previous day in New York during US standard time or 9:00 PM previous day during US daylight time, and 5:00 AM in Dubai, helping you quickly see whether a morning China meeting works for overseas teams.
Export and share the result: After selecting the time range, use the export options shown on the tool: ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially useful for sending a confirmed meeting block to a remote sourcing team, a freight forwarder, or a customer account manager so everyone receives the appointment in their own local time automatically.
About Jiaozuo Time Zone
Jiaozuo uses the Asia/Shanghai IANA time zone, which is the standard time zone used across all of mainland China. Its offset is UTC+08:00, commonly called China Standard Time (CST). Even though Jiaozuo is inland in Henan Province, it follows the same national clock as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, and Urumqi for official civil timekeeping.
China does not currently observe daylight saving time, so Jiaozuo stays on UTC+8 all year. That means the local time in Jiaozuo does not shift in March or October/November the way it does in places such as New York or London. For scheduling, this makes China easier to work with because the Jiaozuo side remains fixed while the time difference changes seasonally only because other countries move their clocks.
Geographically, Jiaozuo is in northwestern Henan, and its official time is aligned with neighboring Chinese cities rather than local solar time. Compared with nearby international time zones, Jiaozuo is 1 hour behind Tokyo (UTC+9), 4 hours ahead of Dubai (UTC+4), 8 hours ahead of London in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer, and 13 hours ahead of New York in winter and 12 hours ahead in summer. This matters for export manufacturing, cross-border e-commerce, and after-hours customer support because a normal workday in Jiaozuo often overlaps only partly with Europe and barely at all with the eastern United States.
