A map of the world with vertical lines marking the time zones from UTC-12 to UTC+12. It has a legend:

Wrong Time

“Natural time zones” are 15° in longitude. Land in red observes a time other than the zone it lies within. Smaller islands depict their 12 nautical mile territorial sea, for visual effect. In some cases this includes a state’s archipelagic waters.

Humans generally are awake during daytime hours and sleeping during night time. It makes sense that the time we assign them are fairly consistent.

Then there’s China just being ridiculous.
