What is the time difference between Melbourne and China and why?

Answer 1

Melbourne is ahead of China by two hours excepting when Melbourne has daylight savings at which time Melbourne is three hours ahead of China. By virtue of the fact that China is west of Melbourne and in a later time zone.

Answer 2

The time difference between Melbourne, Australia and China varies depending on the specific location within China. Generally, China Standard Time (CST) is 2 hours behind Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) when Melbourne is not observing daylight saving time. During daylight saving time in Melbourne, the time difference may be 3 hours. This difference exists because the two locations are in different time zones due to their geographical positions.
