UTC+08 is an identifier for a time offset from UTC of +08.
With an estimated population of 1.53 billion living within the time zone, roughly 22.5% of the world population, it is the most populous time zone in world, as well as a possible candidate for ASEAN Common Time.
As standard time (all year round)
Brunei
People's Republic of China - China Standard Time (Beijing Time), also
Taiwan - National Standard Time, or formerly Chungyuan Standard Time
Indonesia (Central Areas)
Malaysia
Mongolia (most of the country)
Philippines
Singapore
Australia (AWST - Australian Western Standard Time)
Northern Hemisphere - As standard time (winter)
Northern Hemisphere - As daylight saving time
Discrepancies between official UTC+08 and geographical UTC+08
Since legal, political and economic in addition to physical or geographical criteria are used in the drawing of time zones, it follows that official time zones do not precisely adhere to meridian lines. The UTC+08 time zone, were it drawn by purely geographical terms, would consist of exactly the area between meridians 112°30′ E and 127°30′ E. As a result, there are Asian locales that despite lying in an area with a "physical" UTC+08 time, actually use another time zone. Conversely, there are Asian areas that have gone for UTC+08, even though their "physical" time zone is UTC+07 (peninsular Malaysia and Singapore), UTC+09 (easternmost parts of China and parts of the state of Western Australia).
Areas located within UTC+08 longitudes using other time zones
The western parts of Korea, including the cities Pyongyang and Seoul.
Areas located outside UTC+08 longitudes using UTC+08 time
Areas between 127°30′ E and 142°30′ E ("physical" UTC+09)
- Parts of eastern China including the eastern end of Heilongjiang province.
- Easternmost parts of Western Australia.
Areas between 97°30′ E and 112°30′ E ("physical" UTC+07)
- Parts of China, including Guangxi Province and Hainan Island.
- Most of central Mongolia including the capital Ulaanbaatar.
- Peninsular Malaysia.
- Western part of Borneo Island including the western part of Sarawak, Malaysia.
- Singapore.
Areas between 82°30′ E and 97°30′ E ("physical" UTC+06)
- Parts of China, including most of Xinjiang province (although most locals observe UTC+06 even if it is officially UTC+08) and most of Tibet.
- Western Mongolia.
Areas between 67°30′ E and 82°30′ E ("physical" UTC+05)
- Parts of western China including western Xinjiang province (although most locals observe UTC+06 even if it is officially UTC+08).
