Q: Why don't we ever gain or lose one hour in China?
China doesn't participate in daylight savings time. China doesn't even participate in the 5 time zones it spans that the rest of the world adheres too.
Heres the history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_China
Not losing an hour every year is a desperate attempt to grasp onto a few fleeting moments, trying to avoid the one bleak truth that unites us all: a dark eternity of nothingness.
But of course, we all go into death alone.
Like HugAPanda said, China doesn't have time zones, and only America has daylight savings time.
HugAPanda:
Several countries around the world have adopted the whole pain in the ass DST, and and they don't all turn the clocks on the same dates. It makes things... goofy to say the least. If you're interested: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2012.html
Because we all must embrace the dark at 6pm every day!
Nope, you are all wrong!!!
The REAL reason why China does not gain or lose an hour is because it is the Middle Kingdom! Therefore, countries to the East and West of the Middle Kingdom are the ones that need to gain and lose an hour. China, bieng in the middle is unaffected.
Here endith the lesson...
It would not be fair to the other time zones its communism!!!
