Open Meeting Planner →Beijing's government and technology and Johannesburg's mining and banking are different worlds, which is exactly why they call each other. Beijing runs 6 hours ahead of Johannesburg.
The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–18:00 in Beijing and 08:00–17:00 in Johannesburg. Watch for Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October) in Beijing and Heritage Day (24 September) and Freedom Day (27 April) in Johannesburg. Replies slow in Beijing during the Chinese New Year fortnight and the October Golden Week and in Johannesburg during mid-December to mid-January.
Only 2 office hours overlap — 15:00–17:00 in Beijing, 09:00–11:00 in Johannesburg — so recurring meetings should hold that slot and everything else can go asynchronous. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
Beijing is 6 hours ahead of Johannesburg. The gap is the same all year.
15:00–17:00 Beijing time, which is 09:00–11:00 in Johannesburg — the 2-hour stretch when both are inside 09:00–17:00.
Both work Monday to Friday, so any weekday works.
For the working day, yes — the gap is not wide enough to push office hours across midnight.
