    I’m saying that Beijing has legitimacy in the eyes of the people of China, and has had that legitimacy for at least 1700 years. Forget Albany. You have to look at this from the point of view of a country that thinks it’s thousands of years old (rightly or wrongly). The capital of Italy is Rome, and it will always be Rome.
