Information about Taiwan

The issue of time zones is somewhat politically sensitive in Taiwan. Currently, the time in Taiwan is the same as in China (UTC+8). In the past, advocates of Taiwanese independence had proposed introducing a time zone in Taiwan that differed from China’s—setting Taiwan’s time one hour ahead—to underscore Taiwan’s independence from China. Opponents of this proposal, however, argued that this would place Taiwan in the same time zone as Japan (UTC+9). Relations with Japan are also historically problematic, as Taiwan was a Japanese colony between 1895 and 1945.
