When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Argentina Time and China Standard Time don't overlap on the same weekday. China Standard Time is 11 hours ahead of Argentina Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 AM–9 AM in Argentina Time (6 PM–8 PM in China Standard Time) — suggest 8:00 AM Argentina Time (7:00 PM China Standard Time).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
