That's true, but note that China and India, together with 2.6 billion / 7 billion people don't have daylight saving. The former for political, the latter for latitude reasons. Another big country to abolish it recently is Russia.
- Pyrodogg 15y agoJust to note that Russia abolished the switching of clocks but didn't really go back to 'standard time'. > Russia moved its clocks one hour forward to daylight saving time on March 27, 2011. According to the new legislation this is now the country's new standard time. As a result, all of Russia's nine time zones will be permanently two hours ahead of mean solar time, which corresponds to the position of the sun at a given longitude. http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/russia-dst-law.html http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/russia-dst-law.html
