When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Shanghai and Santa Cruz de la Sierra don't overlap on the same weekday. Santa Cruz de la Sierra is 12 hours behind Shanghai.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 PM–8 PM in Shanghai (7 AM–8 AM in Santa Cruz de la Sierra) — suggest 7:00 PM Shanghai (7:00 AM Santa Cruz de la Sierra).
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.
