Answer
Pekingese dogs are very territoril and get agressive if someone tries to take anything they like. To stop him from biting you, you have to show him that your dominant over him. You do that by eating before he does, shoving him away if he squeezes himself when your looking for something in  a cupboard, putting him on the gorund if he's sitting on the couch...
If he ever bites you, you have to hold him in one hand, and use the other hand to close his mouth, after he starts to whine you can let him go.
All of this is not mean, it is dog language.
Good luck...
