Best time to meet between Beijing and San Francisco

For a call that suits both sides, look at 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Beijing / 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in San Francisco. San Francisco is 15 hours behind Beijing, so you only get about 1 hour of overlap a day — worth locking in a standing time like 8:00 AM in Beijing (5:00 PM in San Francisco) before it slips. Don't get caught out: San Francisco is the previous day from Beijing, so "tomorrow" means different things to each team. Because San Francisco and Beijing don't both observe daylight saving, plan to re-check the overlap around March and November.
