Shanghai to New York Time Converter

Best Time to Schedule a Meeting
There is no overlap between a standard 09:00–18:00 working day in Shanghai and in New York. One side will need to take the call outside normal hours — early morning or late evening — so it is worth alternating who absorbs the inconvenience, or using asynchronous updates instead of a live meeting.

Daylight Saving Considerations
Shanghai (Asia/Shanghai, UTC+8) does not observe daylight saving time. New York (America/New_York, UTC-5) observes daylight saving time, shifting to UTC-4.
Because only one of these two locations changes its clocks, the difference between them is not constant across the year. A recurring meeting that works today can drift by an hour when the DST transition happens. Re-check the converted time whenever a transition date passes.
Convert Between Other Cities
Add Shanghai, New York, and any other locations to the interactive meeting planner to compare all of them side by side on a single timeline instead of converting one pair at a time.
