No they don't. See TIME mag, 1986-02-17 p.52. Even though
China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
Peking (Beijing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
has two of 'em - Peking's and Ürümqi (named after the capital of
the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
. . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
painful to suck in another copy. So, here is what I have for
DST start/end dates for Peking's time zone (info from AP):
1986 May 4 - Sept 14
1987 mid-April - ??

Arthur David Olson (1988-02-13):
A writer from the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc.,
notes in private correspondence dated 1987-12-28 that "Presently, only the
Navajo Nation participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, due to its
large size and location in three states." (The "only" means that other
tribal nations don't use DST.)
