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.
