How to convert time from Arabian Standard Time (AST) to China Standard Time (CST)
Converting between Arabian Standard Time (AST)
and China Standard Time (CST) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from AST cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina are 5 hour(s) apart to CST cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, holiday schedules, and the basic

Step 1: Understanding Arabian Standard Time and China Standard Time
Arabian Standard Time is UTC3, which means that the
local time in the Arabian Standard Time zone is 3
hours apart from UTC. China Standard Time is UTC8,
which means that the local time in the China Standard Time zone is 8 hours apart from UTC.
Step 2: Calculate the Time Difference
To convert time from Arabian Standard Time to China Standard Time, we first need
to find the time difference between both time zones. Since Arabian Standard Time is UTC3 and China Standard Time is UTC8, the time difference is: 5 hour(s)
