Answer 1

you can try TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime method:

DateTime estTime = new DateTime(); //for example: 10:47PM EST

TimeZoneInfo estZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Eastern Standard Time");

TimeZoneInfo cstZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("China Standard Time");

DateTime yourLocalTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(estTime, estZone, cstZone);
