Bug description:
  When installing Ubuntu and selecting Simplified Chinese as the default
  language, the default timezone should point to Beijing instead of
  Shanghai.  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.
