I didn't know they didn't have time zones. Are people there just used to the fact 8am will look very different depending on which region your in?

Most of the population outside of the natural time zone are small rural villages so they just ignore the official time. There is a major city far in the west, and they use two time zones simultaneously. It's a contentious issue, because which time zone you use is basically race-based. Han Chinese use Bejing time, and Uighurs use the local zone.
