Open Meeting Planner →What Beijing and Shanghai have in common is technology and finance; that is the usual reason for a call between them. There is no time difference at all; the working days simply have to line up.
Both cities work Monday to Friday, Beijing typically 09:00–18:00 and Shanghai 09:00–18:00 local time. On the Beijing side the dates that break a schedule are Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October); on the Shanghai side, Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October).
Any slot inside 09:00–18:00 works for both, so pick the day rather than the hour. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
None — Beijing and Shanghai keep the same clock.
Both work Monday to Friday, so any weekday works.
