Best overlap: 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Shenzhen is 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Paris.
The best time to meet is 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Shenzhen, which is 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Paris. With about 3 hours of overlap, there's comfortable room for a daily stand-up — 3:00 PM in Shenzhen / 8:00 AM in Paris works well. A quick caveat — Paris's clocks move for daylight saving and Shenzhen's don't, so the times here are right for only part of the year.
