About Shanghai

Shanghai has the same time as Beijing; all of China uses one time zone. As a global financial center, its port activities run around the clock. Ensure your schedule accounts for the significant time shift when coordinating with Swedish colleagues.

There is no summer time in Shanghai; when Sweden changes its clocks, the difference changes by one hour.
