Uh… I know this is a super old thread, and this topic has also been discussed in the Tsai’s Go South policy thread:
but I guess this thread title is still more relevant, so… here’s to reviving a post from 2004… wow, I was still stateside back then…
The point is, now there really is a petition to move Taiwan’s time zone from +8 to +9.
I’ve sure many have pointed out in the past that geographically it makes sense for Taiwan to be in the +8 zone, however, in terms of utilizing sunlight, it makes more sense to be in the +9 zone.
