July 1 would be an odd time for a seasonal DST shift ... but quickly thumbing through the tzdata files, I see one for Asia/Taipei on that date in 1979. So I guess that the OP is using that zone, and the answer to the question is "midnight of that date did not exist in Taiwan; their clocks shifted forward from 23:59:59 to 01:00:00".
