Also known in software as: ROC.
Asia/Taipei is on Taiwan Time (CST, UTC+8). The IANA identifier is Asia/Taipei.
No. Asia/Taipei keeps UTC+8 all year, so its time difference with places that do change their clocks shifts by an hour twice a year.
Older software may still use ROC; these are aliases of Asia/Taipei and give identical times.
Standard offset UTC+8, no daylight saving time (as of 2026).
