Beijing is 13 hours ahead of Ottawa
There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.
Don't expect an easy slot here: Ottawa 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. The difference isn't constant year-round: Ottawa adjusts for daylight saving while Beijing holds steady.
