About Mountain Standard Time (MST)
Mountain Standard Time (MST, IANA: America/Denver and America/Phoenix) is the time zone for the US Mountain region and most of Canada's Rocky Mountain provinces, set at UTC-7:00. MST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March; the region switches to Mountain Daylight Time (MDT = UTC-6:00) for the remainder of the year — EXCEPT for the State of Arizona (excluding Navajo Nation), which stays on MST year-round per Arizona Revised Statutes §1-242. Major MST cities: Denver, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, El Paso, Tucson, Calgary, Edmonton. MST covers Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho (most), New Mexico, Arizona, parts of Texas + Mexico (Sonora). Population ~17 million in the time zone. Affects: NORAD Cheyenne Mountain operations, Denver Mile-High Stadium NFL game scheduling, Colorado ski-resort lift-operating hours, US Bureau of Land Management permit operations, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast schedule from Salt Lake City.
About China Standard Time (CST)
China Standard Time (CST, IANA: Asia/Shanghai) is the unified civil time of the People's Republic of China, set at UTC+8:00 year-round (no DST). Despite China's vast east-west extent (~5,200 km from Xinjiang's western border at 73°E to Heilongjiang's eastern border at 135°E — 62° of longitude or ~4 hours of solar time), the entire country uses a single time zone since 1949 (consolidated from 5 separate zones used during the Republic of China era). This means Kashgar Xinjiang sees solar noon at approximately 14:00 CST in summer, while Shanghai sees solar noon at approximately 11:50 CST — a stark practical discrepancy. Hong Kong Time (HKT) and Macau Time (MOT) are identical at UTC+8 but use different IANA identifiers for historical reasons. CST serves approximately 1.42 billion people. CST is identical in offset to Singapore Time (SGT), Malaysia Time (MYT), Philippine Time (PHT), Australian Western Standard Time (AWST), Hong Kong Time (HKT). Major CST cities: Shanghai (24M), Beijing (21.5M), Chongqing (32M), Guangzhou (15M), Shenzhen (12.5M), Chengdu (16.3M), Tianjin (13.7M), Wuhan (11M), Xi'an (13M), Hangzhou (11.9M). Affects: SSE + SZSE stock exchanges, Beijing Central Government working hours.
