Re: About China time zones

I might also say here that adding a new population center in Xinjiang that is UTC +8:00 to the tz database (as originally suggested in "first pass at Uyghur time" 2009.11.21) is unnecessary and redundant (besides having other potential problems) because the population that uses +8:00 uses it precisely because they consider Beijing their center (which we, of course, call Shanghai/Asia). :P Just my opinion, of course. Once again, I'll accept "first pass" if it is to be the last pass. -mld
