That's definitely true for Urumuqi where stores open later (11AM instead of 9:30 or 10AM in the rest of the country). But Beijing is pretty far east where the time zone is mainly meant for.

Try Kashgar. It's dark until 10 or later every day in the winter.

Kashgar would be the worst possible situation in China, I've only ever been as far west as Urumuqi.

the variability of solar time depends a great deal on latitude, if I'm not mistaken.

perhaps lawmakers can try voting to change the tilt of the earth, lol.
