+
+# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22):
+#
+# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
+# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
+# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
+#
+# Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source
+# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
+# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
+# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
+# of the IATA's data after 1990.
+#
+# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
+# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
+#
+# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
+# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
+# I found in the UCLA library.
+#
+# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
+# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude,
+# Oxford University Press (1980).
+#
+# I invented the abbreviations marked `*' in the following table;
+# the rest are from earlier versions of this file, or from other sources.
+# Corrections are welcome!

+# People's Republic of China
+
+# From Guy Harris:
+# People's Republic of China. Yes, they really have only one time zone.
+
+# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
+# No they don't. See TIME mag, 1986-02-17 p.52. Even though
+# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
+# Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
+# has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
+# the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
+#
+# . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
+# painful to suck in another copy.. So, here is what I have for
+# DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):
+#
+# 1986 May 4 - Sept 14
+# 1987 mid-April - ??
+
+# From U. S. Naval Observatory (1989-01-19):
+# CHINA 8 H AHEAD OF UTC ALL OF CHINA, INCL TAIWAN
+# CHINA 9 H AHEAD OF UTC APR 17 - SEP 10
+
+# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
+# Shanks writes that China has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1,
+# observing summer DST from 1986 through 1991; this contradicts Devine's
+# note about Time magazine, though apparently _something_ happened in 1986.
+# Go with Shanks for now. I made up names for the other pre-1980 time zones.

+
+# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
+# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
+# Each year they decide anew what havoc to wreak on the country. However,
+# there is a "supposed" set of rules which is subject to change depending
+# on the party the Minister of Interior, the size of the coalition
+# government, the phase of the moon and the direction of the wind. Hence,
+# changes may need to be made on a semi-annual basis. One thing is entrenched
+# in law, however: that there must be at least 150 days of daylight savings
+# time annually. Ever since 1993, the change to daylight savings time is
+# on a Thursday night from midnight IST to 1 a.m IDT. The change back to
+# standard time is on a Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time
+# to 11 p.m. standard time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the
+# change back to standard time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday
+# night to avoid conflicts with the Jewish New Year.
