Best overlap: 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Shanghai is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Manchester.
Keep meetings inside 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Shanghai — that maps to 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Manchester. There's just 2 hours of overlap here, so don't leave meetings to chance — lock 4:00 PM in Shanghai / 8:00 AM in Manchester into the calendar. These times hold for most of the year, but Manchester's daylight saving (which Shanghai doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
