Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Beijing and one in Mexico City — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Beijing is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Mexico City.
A note on CST (China): it can also mean the abbreviation CST is shared with US Central Time and Cuba Standard Time.
China Standard Time (CST) is used in the whole of China, which runs on one offset from Kashgar to Shanghai
Central Time – Mexico (CST) is used in most of Mexico. Mexico abolished daylight saving in October 2022, so it no longer tracks US Central Time in summer.
