They can pay out for repatriation expenses and recover that from you later.

Keep your chin up lass.
It is a worry, and I too hope she's ok, and gets back very soon. However she's an adult, and went to China to further her education, which will hopefully help her career options. She's an intelligent young woman, and I have no doubt she'll use that intelligence to keep herself safe, just as she would wherever she was, even in this country.

There are young people who go off into the world for all sorts of reasons. Some to volunteer their services in countries with very real poverty, and some who risk/give their lives in the armed services, and some who travel just for the experience.

I'm sure how she was trapped in China, and how she coped, will make an interesting tale to tell her grandchildren.
