Today I learned that China has only one time zone, which wouldn't be a big deal, since most countries in the world are like that. But since China has a huge territory, this creates some interesting scenarios - like experiencing a sunset at 11PM in the far west city of Kashgar, while the capital Beijing is already asleep in the dead of night. And this all happened because in 1949, after the Chinese Communist Party established control over the country and the chairman Mao Zedong mashed together the 5 previous time zones into only one, Beijing Standard Time, for the purpose of "national unity".
