Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in São Paulo and one in Beijing — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in São Paulo is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Beijing.
A note on CST (China): it can also mean the abbreviation CST is shared with US Central Time and Cuba Standard Time.
Brasília Time (BRT) is used in Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. Brazil ended daylight saving in 2019.
China Standard Time (CST) is used in the whole of China, which runs on one offset from Kashgar to Shanghai
