    Q: Did the Republic of China (Taiwan) ever consider using different time zones within the country? A: Yes, five different time zones were proposed for the country in 1918. However, it was hard to implement these different time zones in rural China, and chaos ensued. It was decided to use Kansu-Szechwan Time (UTC/GMT +7 hours) during WWII.
