> the English name (which is Beijing)

Beijing? Peking? Pei-ching? Peiping? What is the correct spelling and what isn't for foreign names changes over time.

(It's quite amusing how Germans go to great lengths to use the new, Polish names for cities in former Prussia, while for Belgian cities that haven't been under German control for much longer, they insist on German names.)

Well in their defense my understanding is they had a somewhat embarrassing dust-up with Poland a few years back.
