Hi Steve,
Since ubiquity gets the data from zone.tab, you can't do #1 without
modifying the tzdata package from upstream, which is something that
Ubuntu developers have specified multiple times that they are not
willing to do. As such, #2 would be confusing and we would have the same
situation as in comment #18 of bug #228554:
> The name is Beijing, but the location is Shanghai. It's very very
funny.
Easiest fix would be to change the Chinese translation of tzdata to name
"Zhongyuan Time ('Central plain Time')". That way Chinese users would
not be _as_ confused because Shanghai is within "Zhongyuan Time". It
would be like the dialog selecting "Eastern Time" but putting a dot on
New York.
