I just bought a cheap electric alarm clock - made in China naturally.
When I plugged it in it displayed the correct time. How does it do
this? Does it pick up a radio signal? The clock works perfectly. I am
just curious.

Probably. I have two clocks like this and a watch, all battery
operated, but you have to set them to your time zone. They are set by
transmitted atomic clock signals and time is exact.
On it's way from China it went through Rome. The Pope blessed it, so
it was set according to God. Since God is always right, so is the
time. Now you know !!!!
