Beijing is 6 hours ahead of Frankfurt

Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Frankfurt is 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Beijing.

Book within 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM Frankfurt time (2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Beijing) and both teams will be at work. Beijing is 6 hours ahead of Frankfurt, so the practical overlap is about 4 hours — generous enough for meetings, tight enough to be worth booking ahead. Daylight saving complicates things slightly: Frankfurt observes it, Beijing doesn't, so the difference flexes by an hour part of the year.
