When is the best time to call between Beijing and New York?
There is no hour when standard working hours (9:00–18:00) overlap in both Beijing and New York, so any call falls outside business hours for at least one side.
Why does the time difference between Beijing and New York change?
Because at least one of Beijing and New York observes daylight saving time, the difference shifts by an hour when one city changes its clocks and the other has not yet (or does not).
