Might have helped to mention you were in China... To me, CST is North
America Central Standard Time (and I'd have expected this time of year to
see CDT - Central Daylight Time)... That led me on a weird meaningless side

I'm in EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) -- so 4 hours behind UTC.
Which is correct?
CST in China

CST in North America

and not to mention Cuba

What annoys me is when someone starts that a webinar will start at, say,
xx ET. I have to know which country that person is in and whether
daylight savings is currently in effect (EST or EDT?) so that I can
convert to my local time.
It's so much easier to use UTC.
I know what timezone I'm in and whether daylight savings is currently in
effect here, so I know the local offset from UTC.
