There is only one time-zone in China because the government there regulates it to be that way.  Time-zones are largely a convention, and given the use of UTC time (Universal Coordinated Time / Greenwich Mean Time), time-zones are not entirely necessary.  They are predominantly kept because of familiarity and historical convention.  That said, in China it is easier for the nation to function administratively with only one time-zone, so they have chosen that.  In the United States, the government chose to have time-zones for the people over administrative reasons...although some regions of the country (such as parts of Indiana and Arizona) have selected rules that do not follow the national norm (i.e. they don't use Daylight Savings Time).

Daylight Savings Time is practiced is not limited to the U.S. alone.  Many states around the world employ DST.  It's primary justification is energy-savings; By adjust the clock to take advantage of the longer daylight of summer, less artifical light is required.\n\nDaylight Savings was first put into practice by Germany during WorldWar I, and was quickly adopted by the U.S. and much of Europe.

From wikipedia:\n"Daylight saving time (also called DST) is the North American term for a system intended to "save" daylight (the British observe summer time, and likewise the Europeans). The official time is adjusted forward, (usually) one hour from its official standard time, remaining that way for the duration of the spring and summer months. This is intended to provide a better match between the hours of daylight and the active hours of work and school."\n\nIn my own wordings, it's adjusting time in summer/winter so you won't be going to school/work when it's dark, or waking up at 6am and the sun is too high in the sky.\nCountries usually adjust the time to make the change between summer/winter in sunrise/sunset easier on people.

You may want to take your direction from the "End  Daylight Savings Time" campaign (see link to web site below).\n\nUnfortunately, things appear to be moving in the other direction as an amendment to an energy bill passed by Congress in Aug. 2005, Daylight Saving time will be extended by about a month. Beginning in 2007, Daylight Saving Time will begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November.\n\nThe sad reality is that both sides in this argument have mired it down with exageration and statistics which cannot be verified. As a result, no rational argument can find a foothold.

Arizona and Hawaii!\n\n"Arizona (except some Indian Reservations), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have chosen not to observe Daylight Saving Time. This choice does make sense for the areas closer to the equator because the days are more consistent in length throughout the year."

I wish I wasn't! I hate DST. There doesn't seem to be a good enough reason to go through all that hassle.

The main purpose of Daylight Saving Time (called "Summer Time" in many places in the world) is to make better use of daylight. We change our clocks during the summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. \n\nA poll conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation indicated that Americans liked Daylight Saving Time because "there is more light in the evenings / can do more in the evenings."  Some say that the primary reason that Daylight Saving Time is a part of many societies is simply because people like to enjoy long summer evenings, and that reasons such as energy conservation are merely rationalizations.\n\nHowever, Daylight Saving Time does save energy. Studies done by the U.S. Department of Transportation show that Daylight Saving Time trims the entire country's electricity usage by a small but significant amount, about one percent each day, because less electricity is used for lighting and appliances. \n\nIn the winter, the afternoon Daylight Saving Time advantage is offset for many people and businesses by the morning's need for more lighting. In spring and fall, the advantage is generally less than one hour. So, Daylight Saving Time saves energy for lighting in all seasons of the year, but it saves least during the four darkest months of winter (November, December, January, and February), when the afternoon advantage is offset by the need for lighting because of late sunrise.\n\nIn addition, less electricity is used because people are home fewer hours during the "longer" days of spring and summer. Most people plan outdoor activities in the extra daylight hours. When people are not at home, they don't turn on the appliances and lights.\n\nThere is a public health benefit to Daylight Saving Time, as it decreases traffic accidents. Several studies in the U.S. and Great Britain have found that the DST daylight shift reduces net traffic accidents and fatalities by close to one percent. An increase in accidents in the dark mornings is more than offset by the evening decrease in accidents.

9:54 AM.  Phoenix (along with the rest of Arizona) does not observe Daylight Savings Time, so in the summer, Phoenix is on the same time as Pacific Daylight Time.

All states do, I believe. The last to approve one was New Hampshire in 1999.  Arizona was famous for rejecting the holiday, but that was reversed and the state holiday was enacted in 1992.\n\nOf course, the Federal holiday applies to all 50 states as well.

in Arizona, we don't have a "malta".

Your answer can be found here:\nhttp://www.energy.ca.gov/daylightsaving.html\n\nThis is very interesting.  I didn't even know Congress changed it.

Why, aren't they two of the many regions that remain on "standard time" year-round? \n\nIt's controversial, but some people say this approach is the way of the future.

Scientists are delaying the start of 2006 by the first "leap second" in seven years, a timing tweak meant to make up for changes in the Earth's rotation.\n\nThe adjustment will be carried out by sticking an extra second into atomic clocks worldwide at the stroke of midnight Coordinated Universal Time, the widely adopted international standard, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology said this week.\n\nFor more info, visit:\nhttp://www.theage.com.au/news/world/a-year-late/2005/12/25/1135445473624.html

There is no use apart from being in time with the rest of the world.\n\nIn some parts it is not wise to put the clocks forward/backwards as this will change what time it is at the hottest in a day.\n\nChina is one of the few counties that does do this.
