Interesting!
These appear to be the op's options:
[1] China
east China - Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, etc.
TZ='Asia/Shanghai'
[2] China
Heilongjiang
TZ='Asia/Harbin'
[3] China
central China - Gansu, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, etc.
TZ='Asia/Chongqing'
[4] China
Tibet & most of Xinjiang Uyghur
TZ='Asia/Urumqi'
[5] China
southwest Xinjiang Uyghur
TZ='Asia/Kashgar'
These appear to be very straightforward -- gotta wonder what the problem
is ;<
