144 # From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
145 # No they don't. See TIME mag, February 17, 1986 p.52. Even though
146 # China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
147 # Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
148 # has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
149 # the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
151 # . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
152 # painful to suck in another copy.. So, here is what I have for
153 # DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):
155 # 1986 May 4 - Sept 14
156 # 1987 mid-April - ??
158 # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
159 # According to Shanks, China started using DST in 1986,
160 # but it's still all one big happy time zone.

166 # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
167 # Shanks writes that China switched from the Chinese calendar on 1912 Feb 12.
168 # He also writes that China has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1,
169 # and that they instituted DST on 1986 May 4; this contradicts Devine's
