Hong Kong runs on Hong Kong Time (HKT, UTC+8) — same offset as mainland China and Singapore. No DST. Business hours 9 AM - 6 PM. HKEX (Hong Kong Stock Exchange) trading runs 9:30 AM - 4 PM HKT with a 1-h lunch break. Hong Kong anchors banking and legal services for Asia-Pacific transactions — Standard Chartered, HSBC, and every major international law firm maintain their APAC HQs here.
East Asia — China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Mongolia — sits mostly at UTC+8 (China's single-timezone policy across the whole country) or UTC+9 (Japan, Korea). None observe DST anymore (Japan ended its post-WW2 experiment in the 1950s), so offsets are fixed. The region's single-large-zone footprint makes cross-Asia coordination unusually easy compared to Europe or North America.
