+# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is

+# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.

+# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
+# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which

+#
+# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is

+# From Guy Harris:
+# People's Republic of China. Yes, they really have only one time zone.
+
+# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
+# No they don't. See TIME mag, February 17, 1986 p.52. Even though
+# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
+# Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
+# has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
+# the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
+#
+# . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
+# painful to suck in another copy.. So, here is what I have for
+# DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):
+#
+# 1986 May 4 - Sept 14
+# 1987 mid-April - ??
+
+# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
+# According to Shanks, China started using DST in 1986,
+# but it's still all one big happy time zone.
+
+# From U. S. Naval Observatory (January 19, 1989):
+# CHINA 8 H AHEAD OF UTC ALL OF CHINA, INCL TAIWAN
+# CHINA 9 H AHEAD OF UTC APR 17 - SEP 10
+
+# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
+# Shanks writes that China switched from the Chinese calendar on 1912 Feb 12.
+# He also writes that China has had a single time zone since 1980 May 1,
+# and that they instituted DST on 1986 May 4; this contradicts Devine's
+# note about Time magazine, though apparently _something_ happened in 1986.

+# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
+# Shanks says that the far southern Ryukyu Is (Nansei-Shoto) are 8:00,
+# but we don't have a good location name for them;
+# we don't even know the name of the principal town.
+# There is no information for Marcus.
+# Other Japanese possessions are probably like Asia/Tokyo.
+
+# From Shanks (1991):
+# Japan switched from the Japanese calendar on 1893 Jan 1.
