Everything in China is referenced to Beijing time. In mainland China this standard time is called Beijing Time (北京时间) domestically but it is commonly referred to as China Standard Time (CST) internationally. This seems to have come up a lot in past bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/228554 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/517621 Steps to recreate: 1) Install Ubuntu and select Simplified Chinese for the language. Actual Results: At the timezone page, the default city is Shanghai. Expected Results: Most Chinese users prefer it be set to Beijing. It looks as if the upstream tz database needs to be updated for Beijing for starters, as Beijing is not listed in there.
