Q:

Does Date() always init UTC date?

I'd like to know if  Date() always init UTC date.
Example:
App is running in location UTC-8
Call Date() => date in UTC or UTC-8?
Thanks.

A:

Date() initiates a single point in time, independent of any particular calendar system or time zone. Date values represent a time interval relative to an absolute reference date.
So the displayed value will be different depending on timezone, e.g.
01/01/2020T00:00:00 in UTC
will be presented as 
31/12/2019T23:00:00 in UTC+1
