Frequently asked questions

What is the time difference between Shanghai and Buenos Aires?

Shanghai is 11 hours ahead of Buenos Aires: UTC+8 versus UTC-3. Both figures include any daylight saving currently in force.

What is the best time to call from Shanghai to Buenos Aires?

There is no hour that is comfortable for both. If the meeting is unavoidable, the least-bad options are the edges of each side's day — late morning in Shanghai or early morning in Buenos Aires — and the burden should be explicit rather than assumed.

Is there any way to make Shanghai–Buenos Aires meetings work?

Not through scheduling. With no overlap, the workable options are async written handoffs, recorded updates, or splitting coverage into two regional pods so that each pod works its own daylight hours.
