+# 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.
+#
+# 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.

+# People's Republic of China
+
+# From Guy Harris:
+# People's Republic of China.  Yes, they really have only one time zone.
+
+# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
+# No they don't.  See TIME mag, February 17, 1986 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 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
+# According to Shanks, China started using DST in 1986,
+# but it's still all one big happy time zone.
+
+# From U. S. Naval Observatory (January 19, 1989):
+# 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> (November 18, 1993):
+# Shanks writes that China switched from the Chinese calendar on 1912 Feb 12.
+# He also writes that China has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1,
+# and that they instituted DST on 1986 May 4; this contradicts Devine's
+# note about Time magazine, though apparently _something_ happened in 1986.

+# From Ephraim Silverberg (September 5, 1993):
+#
+# 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 on daylight savings
+# time annually.
