It touches a few stans. Interestingly at the point where the west of China borders Kazakhstan, there is a four hour time difference. All of china runs at the same time as Beijing.

That is fascinating when you think about it. I allready knew about the one time zone, but never really thought about what it would be like crossing a border.

There's only a 2 hour time difference between China and Kazahstan. You're thinking of the Afghanistan border where there's a 3 and a half hour gap.

71% currently, but it is the least guessed one. Maybe because as some pointed out previously normal type ins arent accepted? I haven't tried out what works or not though. It could be that currently it is standard type ins again.

JetPunk considers the illegally-occupied POK as mostly legal Pakistani land and hence it does border China.
