Because China doesn't use Daylight Savings Time nowadays, your choice
between UTC and local time is less important than for most as your
clock doesn't have to be changed twice a year.
For everyone else, it makes a lot more sense to use UTC for the real
time clock. Also, judging by my experience on this dual-booting
system (W10 and Debian), up-to-date Windows systems can handle
hardware clocks set to UTC (just as we can cope with your emails
being timestamped with UTC!).
If you apply the same logic to any devices you have that are unaware
of timezones (like many cameras) and set them to UTC, then it will
help with keeping all the file timestamps correct as well. This avoids
having to work out all the ramifications spelled out by pages like
