Hi, Thanks for the effort to maintain the tz packages. Recently, I've seen people complain that in file zone.tab, entries regarding China (CN) are not right. They are: CN +4545+12641 Asia/Harbin north Manchuria CN +3114+12128 Asia/Shanghai China coast CN +2934+10635 Asia/Chungking China mountains CN +4348+08735 Asia/Urumqi Tibet & Xinjiang CN +3929+07559 Asia/Kashgar Eastern Turkestan There are several problems: 1. City names are in old form. Now there is a standard way (pinyin) to write it and it should be used; 2. Comments are not quite right. This may due to the historic reasons. Because of these problems, when users in China are presented a form to pick a time zone, they are very confused. To correct this, the first thing should be noted is that there is only ONE timezone in China. This is well documentd in file asia. Second, to reflect the current practice, zone.tab may be modified as: CN +4545+12641 Asia/Harbin Beijing Time - Heilongjiang CN +3114+12128 Asia/Shanghai Beijing Time CN +2934+10635 Asia/Chongqing Beijing Time - Sichuan CN +4348+08735 Asia/Urumqi Beijing Time - Xinjiang CN +3929+07559 Asia/Kashi Beijing Time - Xinjiang Or just one Beijin Time entry. But I really don't know how zone.tab and asia files are related to each other. So the above changes should only be a reference. Best regards, Yao Zhang
