An unhappy society for a long time.
The correct spelling is "Peking". I am certain of that, because archaeology has a "Peking Man", but there is no "Beijing Man" nor any "Peiping Man", nor even a "Beiping Man"
Stupid commies. Can't even get the name of their own damned capitol right! And the dumbasses think they can tell US how to live!
