Because the sun is in different positions in the sky based on where earth is!.

When it is day time in the USA it is night in East Asia because of how the Earth faces the sun at that time!.

And we wouldn't want 2:34pm to be around midnight in East Asia, so we created time zones to give each area a time based on when it faces the sun!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why do countries switch time!? Is that what you are asking!?

The idea was to have more hours for farmers to work the fields during the daylight hours!. Thus it is called Daylight Savings Time!.
