How to keep source datetime

I imported data from COSMOS. I think the datetime was saved as UTC time. But 

 

1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM
12/21/2015 12:00:00 AM
12/22/2015 12:00:00 AM
12/28/2015 12:00:00 AM
12/29/2015 12:00:00 AM

For example above datetime in Power BI desktop will show as below automatically. I want to keep the UTC datetime. Is there any setting to keep the source datetime instead of automatically changing to local timezone?

You can set the Date/Time in Power Query to a wide variety of locales
