This is not the correct fix. '%b %e %Y' format is used only in specific countries (is it US only?), and Chinese dates don't use such format. Chinese dates are either expressed as '%Y-%m-%d' or '%Y<y>%m<m>%d<d>', where <y>,<m>,<d> are chinese characters representing year, month and day respectively.
The width of latter form is equivalent to 14 english character, so if it is used, then one must add one extra space to pad the zh_CN translation of '%b %e %H:%M' (which has the width of 13 eng char). Alternatively, the short form '%Y-%m-%d' is used with extra space padding.
Besides, I'd suggest coreutils maintainers to add comments before these entries in order to warn translators -- tell them that spacing of these 2 msgid entries much be matched.
