Now you hit google to find out the real story. Do this more often and you won't sound like an idiot. Then I won't point out you're an idiot.
By Peking, did you mean Bejing?
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in
1949, the government adopted the pinyin transliteration method and used it to write proper names using the Latin alphabet. In theory, that's when Peking became known in the west as
Beijing.
When did Peking, China, change its name to Beijing? / LJWorld.com
Anyone learning Mandarin would know that.
