> And of course, "Beijing" is no harder to say that "Peking",
About that bit, I remember, some years ago (or maybe even tens of
years, I seem to tend to remember various stuff happening later
than they actually did), the official transcription of chinese has
been changed, leading to some name changes.
However, a Google search yields nothing, so this may be just my
imagination going a bit too overboard ??
