That's very interesting, I had no idea. Could you elaborate?
from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_China

Ürümqi Time (UTC+6), two hours behind Beijing. Although this is not officially recognized, it is the time observed locally by most residents.

And in Russia timetables on all railway stations throughout the country are Moscow time. Even in the Far East regions.
