Beijing does not observe daylight saving time — it stays at UTC+8 all year round.
Beijing is 12h 0min ahead of New York and does not observe daylight saving time, so this difference stays constant all year round — unlike London, which changes clocks twice a year. Beijing is officially on Beijing Time (UTC+8), the single time zone mandated across all of China — even though the country spans roughly five geographic hour-widths.
