What is the best time to call between Los Ángeles and Shanghai?

There is no hour inside working hours in both cities. 06:00–07:00 your time (17:00 there) is the cheapest compromise, and one side is taking a shoulder hour.

Do Los Ángeles and Shanghai change clocks on the same date?

Only one of them does, so the gap between them changes twice a year even though neither city moved relative to the sun.
