Brazil and China share no working hours
Brazil and China have no hours where both are inside their own working day. Brazil works 09:00–18:00 and China 09:00–18:00, and the offset between them leaves no intersection.
Where this number comes from
Brazil works 09:00–18:00 and China 09:00–18:00, each on its own clock. The overlap is the intersection of those two days once both are put on the same axis .
The week on each side
Brazil works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. China works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. The weeks line up, so the only thing to get right is the hour.
