That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Peking". Historically, Beijing was referred to as Peking, an anglicized form of its name in Mandarin. This name was widely used in the West until the mid-20th century. In 1949, the People's Republic of China adopted the pinyin romanization system, which led to the official use of "Beijing" in international contexts and diplomacy.
