UTC+8 time now
UTC+8 is the most-used offset by population: all of China, plus Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Western Australia.
UTC+8 is also written GMT+8 or UTC+08:00 in ISO 8601. It is the same time everywhere on this offset, all year: a UTC offset never moves for daylight saving time, places do.

Questions people ask
Is UTC+8 the same as GMT+8?
Yes. On the clock they show the same time. GMT is the old name for the time at Greenwich; UTC is the modern atomic standard. Offsets are written the same way with either name.
What time is it in UTC+8 right now?
The live clock at the top of this page shows the current time in UTC+8, corrected by an internet time check, so it stays right even if your device clock is off.
Which countries use UTC+8?
All year: Australia, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan.
Does UTC+8 change for daylight saving time?
No. A UTC offset never changes. What changes is which places use it: a place on daylight saving time moves to a different offset, usually one hour ahead.
