They're the same timezone anyway so this is largely cosmetic, but I've asked the people who run our GeoIP server to look into this.
However, if Asia/Chongqing shouldn't be used, then why is it listed in /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab? As far as I know, that file is only supposed to list timezones that are currently in use; for instance, it lists Europe/London but not Europe/Belfast. If you think everyone should be using Asia/Shanghai for China and preferably can supply a reference, then please contact tzdata upstream (<email address hidden>); they frequently take corrections from local experts, and this is the best way to get fixes deployed in many different operating systems.
