Best time to meet between Boston and Beijing

When Boston starts work, Beijing is already winding down or offline — the 12-hour gap leaves no shared window. Default to async and only schedule live time when it genuinely needs a conversation — then make it count. For part of the year the maths changes: Boston observes daylight saving, Beijing does not, shifting the overlap by an hour.
