Beijing, Oh Beijing

So is it BeiJING with a hard Ja sound or BeiZHING with more of a zhing sound? 'Cause I don't want to get it wrong if someone asks.

Chris says it's the latter with the ZH sound. I thought it was Peking, you know, like the duck. But I may be going back a few years.

That's how I've said it, with the Zhing sound because it's kinda French, Beizhing (ka-ching). So I figured France and China right there, without ever leaving home. Cool.
