[quote=REMAG1234,313983]jcnile123 I'm married to a Chinese woman from Beijing and have visited there many times. At no time did I ever hear the city referred to Peking, it is now Beijing whether anyone likes it or not. IMO, the people have accepted/adopted Beijing as the proper name. It's be almost 60 years since the name change and many of the "old guard" are gone/dead. The only Peking is the airport whose call letters are PEK. My guess is that Mao could not change that or he would have.[/quote]
