When daylight savings time is in effect in the spring and summer, it is 12 hours ahead of Virginia (East Coast Time). But in winter time it is 13 hours ahead of us when we fall back. China doesn't observe daylight savings.

You're also lucky if you're trying to tell time China because despite it's size, everywhere in the country revolves around the time in Beijing.

For example, if it's 8:00 AM in Virginia, and 5:00 AM in California, but in eastern China where Beijing is it is 8:00 AM and it is also 8:00 AM in Urumqi, which is in far northwestern China. This sucks though for government workers and such, who have to keep the same working hours despite the difference in light (there is no adjustment).

From what I hear there is one or two small areas of China that have slightly adjusted times, but it is basically all one time zone.
