Open Meeting Planner →What New York and Beijing have in common is finance; that is the usual reason for a call between them. Put simply, when it is 09:00 in New York it is already 12 hours later in Beijing, on the following date.
Both cities work Monday to Friday, New York typically 09:00–18:00 and Beijing 09:00–18:00 local time. Watch for Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday of November, with the Friday) and Independence Day (4 July) in New York and Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October) in Beijing.
There is no hour when both offices are open, only the edges: an early start in New York meets a late finish in Beijing. Alternate who stretches, and keep those calls short. Only New York changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Beijing stays put.
Beijing is 12 hours ahead of New York. The gap changes by an hour around the clock changes.
There is no hour when both offices are open. The closest is early morning in New York against the end of the day in Beijing; alternate which side takes the awkward slot.
Alternate. A standing call that is always 07:00 for New York or always 19:00 for Beijing is resented within a month; rotating it keeps both sides in the room.
Not always. At 09:00 in New York it is already the next calendar day in Beijing, so every invitation should carry the date in both cities.
