Shenzhen is 13 hours ahead of New York

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

The 13-hour difference means New York and Shenzhen miss each other entirely during regular office hours. Where you can, lean on async updates and save live calls for when one team is happy to start early or stay late. For part of the year the maths changes: New York observes daylight saving, Shenzhen does not, shifting the overlap by an hour.
