The New York date makes a large difference useful to see
At 09:00 New York on 27 October 2026, Shanghai reads 21:00 on the same date. One week later the Shanghai time is 22:00. Neither slot fits an illustrative 09:00–17:00 Shanghai day, so a correct conversion is not yet a suitable meeting recommendation.

Use the city row to keep trade-offs visible
Shanghai and Beijing share Asia/Shanghai, but a saved plan can keep separate city rows with different availability. If the two teams have different shifts, set them independently. For a US–China recurring call, consider rotating an agreed exception rather than hiding the evening burden in a single convenient base clock.
