Or (perhaps preferably) "US/Pacific" for daylight savings time support.

The solution is to use the correct timezone string rather than your familiar shortcut... you can look through the vector returned by the OlsonNames() function in general, but in your case just use "Etc/GMT+8" for standard time year-round. If you wanted daylight savings time support, you would use "America/Los_Angeles".
