Here's Google's translation of the table at the bottom of the "summert.htm" page:<br>
<br>
>>>>>>>><br>
Decade Name Start and end date<br>
Republic of China 34 years to 40 years (AD 1945-1951 years) Summer Time May 1 to September 30<br>
41 years of the Republic of China (AD 1952) Daylight Saving Time March 1 to October 31<br>
Republic of China 42 years to 43 years (AD 1953-1954 years) Daylight Saving Time April 1 to October 31<br>
In the 44 years to 45 years (AD 1955-1956 years) Daylight Saving Time April 1 to September 30<br>
Republic of China 46 years to 48 years (AD 1957-1959) Summer Time April 1 to September 30<br>
Republic of China 49 years to 50 years (AD 1960-1961) Summer Time June 1 to September 30<br>
Republic of China 51 years to 62 years (AD 1962-1973 years) Stop Summer Time<br>
Republic of China 63 years to 64 years (1974-1975 AD) Daylight Saving Time April 1 to September 30<br>
Republic of China 65 years to 67 years (1976-1978 AD) Stop Daylight Saving Time<br>
Republic of China 68 years (AD 1979) Daylight Saving Time July 1 to September 30<br>
Republic of China since 69 years (AD 1980) Stop Daylight Saving Time<br>
<<<<<<<<<br>
<br>
The page shows DST in 1979 from July 1 to September 30, while the current "asia" file shows DST in 1980 from July 1 to September 30.<br>
"summert.htm" and "asia" are otherwise in agreement.<br>
<br>
Since "summert.htm" is from a "<a href="http://gov.tw" target="_blank">gov.tw</a>" site, I'm inclined to make the change.<br>

According to Taiwan's CWB : <br>

<br>
