Time difference between Beijing and Mexico City
Mexico City is 14 hours behind Beijing
Beijing, China is UTC+8 · Mexico City, Mexico is UTC−6 — on standard time
The gap holds all year
Neither city changes its clocks — Beijing does not change its clocks and Mexico City does not change its clocks — so 14 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Beijing and nine-to-five in Mexico City do not overlap at all. With 14 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
