Shanghai is 12 hours ahead of Atlanta

There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.

Atlanta and Shanghai sit on opposite ends of the clock — a 12-hour gap leaves no common business hours to work with. Lean on recorded updates, shared docs, and clear handoffs so the 12-hour gap doesn't stall progress between meetings. The difference isn't constant year-round: Atlanta adjusts for daylight saving while Shanghai holds steady.
