| Description: | Beijing is the capital city of the People's Republic of China. In China, the city has had many names. Between 1911 and 1949, it was known as Beiping or "Northern Peace". The name was changed because jing means "capital" and the Kuomintang government in Nanjing wanted to emphasize that Beijing was not the capital of China. Curiously, many maps of China from Taiwan still use the old name, although most people in Taiwan call the city Beijing. |
