message: When the US was in the same time zone (when by the way?), was Califonia part of the US already?  — Instantnood 21:32, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
:Time zones were implemented in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Before then, every location kept its own time. -- ran (talk) 17:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: The dilemma of a uniform time zone

message: This article taken from a government document says the Republic of China has five time zones for its claimed territories, that is +5.5, +6, +7 + 8 and +8.5.  — Instantnood 01:21, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
:I suppose we should start an article on Chungyuan Standard Time, or Time zones of the Republic of China. -- ran (talk) 17:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: ROC Time

message: Can someone explain (in the article) why the critics who say advancing the time zone by 1 hour would "instead symbolize a reversion to Japanese colonialism" are criticized as being "spurious"? Thanks.—Gniw (Wing) 07:14, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not "spurious". Even though Taiwan was on +8 during the Japanese occupation, that doesn't mean advancing Taiwan up to +9 (same as Japan) can't be interpreted as having some symbolic meaning in that direction, especially if advancing Taiwan out of +8 is interpreted as having symbolic meaning anyways. -- ran (talk) 17:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reason of being spurious 

message: The article ambiguously starts out by saying that they "currently do not observe daylight saving time."  According to native Chinese resident I've talked with, that is incorrect.  In fact there is a term for it, "xia shi zhi" which literally means "summer time regime"  Can anyone authoritative clarify or correct the statement? -- Bovineone 00:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: OK, so I’ll let y’all fight it out/get to the bottom of this, but I inferred from a page that seems pretty recently updated that Ürümqi Time isn't only observed by the Uyghurs. Wiki Wikardo 19:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
