# "...The government yesterday decided to put the clock back by one hour

# on December 31 midnight and the new time will continue until March 31,

# 2010 midnight. The decision came at a cabinet meeting at the Prime

# Minister's Office last night..."

# From Danvin Ruangchan (2009-12-24):

# ...the news mentions DST will be turned off again 7 months after March

# 31st on Oct 31, 2010.

# From Arthur David Olson (2009-12-26):

# Indeed, "The government will advance again the Banglasdesh Standard

# Time by one one hour on March 31 next year by enforcing the Daylight

# Saving Time (DST) for seven months. It will continue till October 31

# until further notice." I take that last sentence as the

# establishment of a rule.

# From Luther Ma (2009-10-17):

# Almost all (>99.9%) ethnic Chinese (properly ethnic Han) living in

# Xinjiang use Chinese Standard Time. Some are aware of Xinjiang time,

# but have no need of it. All planes, trains, and schools function on

# what is called "Beijing time." When Han make an appointment in Chinese

# they implicitly use Beijing time.

#

# On the other hand, ethnic Uyghurs, who make up about half the

# population of Xinjiang, typically use "Xinjiang time" which is two

# hours behind Beijing time, or UTC +0600. The government of the Xinjiang

# Uyghur Autonomous Region, (XAUR, or just Xinjiang for short) as well as

# local governments such as the Urumqi city government use both times in

# publications, referring to what is popularly called Xinjiang time as

# "Urumqi time." When Uyghurs make an appointment in the Uyghur language

# they almost invariably use Xinjiang time.

#

# (Their ethnic Han compatriots would typically have no clue of its

# widespread use, however, because so extremely few of them are fluent in

# Uyghur, comparable to the number of Anglo-Americans fluent in Navajo.)

#

# (...As with the rest of China there was a brief interval ending in 1990

# or 1991 when summer time was in use. The confusion was severe, with

# the province not having dual times but four times in use at the same

# time. Some areas remained on standard Xinjiang time or Beijing time and

# others moving their clocks ahead.)

#

# ...an example of an official website using of Urumqi time.

# From Luther Ma (2009-11-19):

# With the risk of being redundant to previous answers these are the most common

# English "transliterations" (w/o using non-English symbols):

#

# 1. Wulumuqi...

# 2. Kashi...

# 3. Urumqi...

# 4. Kashgar...

# ...

# 5. It seems that Uyghurs in Urumqi has been using Xinjiang since at least the

# 1960's. I know of one Han, now over 50, who grew up in the surrounding

# countryside and used Xinjiang time as a child.

#

# 6. Likewise for Kashgar and the rest of south Xinjiang I don't know of any

# start date for Xinjiang time.

#

# Without having access to local historical records, nor the ability to legally

# publish them, I would go with October 1, 1949, when Xinjiang became the Uyghur

# Autonomous Region under the PRC. (Before that Uyghurs, of course, would also

# not be using Beijing time, but some local time.)
