When Did China Move Its Capital?

When I went to school, we learned that the capital of Red China was Peking.  Now I hear it is in Beijing.  When did they move it and why?

    They didnt move it, Peking is a romanised version of Beijing. Westerners just learned how to correctly pronounce the city's name
