I came here curious if anyone would point this out. I was surprised to see the post describing UTC + lat/lng as a common practice in APIs without discussing this quirk. E.g. to your point, China's border with Bhutan is politically "fuzzy". Bhutan uses UTC+6, and Beijing Time is UTC+8. Weird that the post acknowledges timezones are a political construct but misses the fact that borders are too.
