Time difference between Mexico City and Beijing
Beijing is 14 hours ahead of Mexico City
Mexico City, Mexico is UTC−6 · Beijing, China is UTC+8 — on standard time
The gap holds all year
Neither city changes its clocks — Mexico City does not change its clocks and Beijing 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 Mexico City and nine-to-five in Beijing 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.
