...why Peking is now being called Beijing.

Not by me. Chicoms don't give me spelling lessons. The English language is called that for a reason.

Turin is not Torino, and Rome is not Roma, nor Moscow, Moskva. We speakee English, you malevolent dwarves.

Oddly the Koreans are perfectly willing to go with the Western way of saying their names.

Lee instead of Yi
Park instead of Pak
Kim instead of Gim/Kim/or whatever

They even translate it that way themselves now.
