Open Meeting Planner →Both cities run on technology, so most calls between Zurich and Beijing are between people in the same trade. Put simply, when it is 09:00 in Zurich it is already 7 hours later in Beijing, on the following date.
Both cities work Monday to Friday, Zurich typically 08:00–17:00 and Beijing 09:00–18:00 local time. On the Zurich side the dates that break a schedule are Swiss National Day (1 August) and Easter Monday (March or April); on the Beijing side, Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October).
The shared window is short: 09:00–10:00 Zurich time, 16:00–17:00 in Beijing. Guard it for the conversations that need everyone, and let the rest happen in writing. Only Zurich changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Beijing stays put.

09:00–10:00 Zurich time, which is 16:00–17:00 in Beijing — the 1-hour stretch when both are inside 09:00–17:00.
Both work Monday to Friday, so any weekday works — but check the date, since the day of the week can differ between the two cities at the same instant.
Not always. At 09:00 in Zurich it is already the next calendar day in Beijing, so every invitation should carry the date in both cities.
