Sticking to one time, otherwise our biologic clock would be in a mess. However, I do agree with you on the time zone thing.It's really stupid and unfair to have one time zone in China, a country who has the third largest territory in the world. Millions of people in the western China have to "burn their daylight" in their whole lifetime just to make it easy for the state government to govern?(I'm sorry i'm not good at politics, but that"s all i can think of the purpose.) What is worse is that, since one is used to the one-time-zone thing, when he travels across the country, it's quite natural for him to totally forget the several-hour time lag. Is that ridiculous?

Plus, it didn't make a good effect on energy conservation and caused some chaos in industrial manufacture, traffic as well as people's daily life.
