Beijing is 13 hours ahead of Houston

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

Don't expect an easy slot here: Houston and Beijing are 13 hours apart, with no overlap across conventional business hours. A shared overlap of zero doesn't mean zero collaboration; it just means leaning harder on documentation and clear ownership. A quick caveat — Houston's clocks move for daylight saving and Beijing's don't, so the times here are right for only part of the year.
