Xinjiang Time is sort of unofficial time, which is the same time as in nearby Kazakhstan (2 hours behind Bejing Time).
As far as I understand from Uyghur sources in Xinjiang it is actually an official time, but unfortunately I don't have any documentation for that.
Here I found some sites from Chinese web sites in Chinese, where mentioned “Xinjiang time” for some Television Stations, by minorities in National Restaurant Table, local places to the west from Kashgar (Kashi) ...
Official or not, though, if it is used in official publications and in TV programing it seems like it would be nice to be able to also set your computer to XJ time. -Lude (Luther) Ma
