Chicago and Hong Kong have no overlap in standard 9-to-5 working hours, so one side needs to start early or finish late. If you stretch the day to 7 AM to 10 PM in both cities, the shared window is 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM in Chicago (7:00 AM to 11:00 AM (next day) in Hong Kong).
The best time to call is around 8:00 PM in Chicago (9:00 AM (next day) in Hong Kong). That time falls outside standard 9-to-5 hours in at least one city. These times use the usual gap; for a few weeks each year, shift them by the difference noted above.
