Well I know for a fact that at the present time, the CNAF does not
have an official border crossing. So if I insert the word "official"
into the question, we can probably get a non controversial as these
facts can be confirmed.
"What is the official border crossing with the world's largest time
difference?"
Another glance seems to indicate that the correct answer is CNPK, a 3
hour difference. But there is a caveat here. Although the official
time on the Chinese side is Chinese standard time, three hours ahead
of Pakistan, there is such thing as unofficial Xinjiang time which is
only one hour ahead.
