Well... There is two answers and one truth not dissimilar to either answer (like with most things China). One answer is that when the communists took over they did it as a symbolic measure of national unity. The second answer is that trying to coordinate clocks and draw arbitrary time zone lines and keep things coordinated was too difficult (an accurate statement).I have a question. We have a granddaughter that is going to Romania this summer with her friends. I was surfing around time zone to check the time differences between here and there and discovered that China a country that is as wide as the USA has one time zone. ONE!!! To me this makes no sense. None at all. So.. why is this so? I patiently await an answer. Thank you!

Anybody hear about that story of the Indonesian teen found rescued at sea supposedly out there for 49 days. He said he survived drinking sea water filtered through his t-shirt. Sounds strange if it were that easy since desalinization plants are extremely expensive. Is that possible?

He looked pretty healthy for marooned at sea for 49 days. His floating fish trap appears adequate but filtering sea water using a t-shirt? I don't see how that is possible. Maybe there's an error in translation (i.e. 4 to 9 days).
I use to teach survival techniques..No way this happened. No way that water filtered through a T-shirt was drinkable. No way. Large quantities of salt water needs to be boiled to get enough to consume by collecting the condensation from boiling....dude's lying.Period.
