On Friday Dr Ao Chen invited me to visit the speech-language pathology clinic at Beijing Language and Culture University. Dr Chen obtained her PhD from Utrecht University (where Anniek van Doornik studies), and undertook a postdoc in infants' tone perception at Western Sydney University.

Beijing Language and Culture University has a Masters in Speech-Language Pathology and a Bachelors of Speech and Hearing. Prof Liqun Gao organised the Belt and Road summit, the lecturers presented and attended, and the students were volunteers (including Megan Li and Xiao Yao). I enjoyed visiting the university, seeing the clinic and having a long discussion about speech acquisition, assessment, and intervention. We followed the visit with traditional Beijing hotpot.
