Would Asia/Beijing be added, I suggest also adding Asia/Lhasa to make it
easier to people leaving in that place and its neighbourhood to
understand why the time they have to set has several hours difference with
the immediate neighbouring countries such as Nepal, India or Bhutan.

The same probably stands for Urumqi and the several other places that
have to share their timezone information with Eastern China.
