I was in China in 2004 as a tourist. We visited Xian and saw the Terra Cotta Army. The admission tickets were advertising Brother sewing machines. We could tell they were an ad - Brother name in English and a picture of a sewing machine, but couldn't tell they were also the ticket. Everything else was Chinese as were the vast majority of the visitors. There are lovely fabric shops in China and they also sell to the local market and not just tourists I'm sure she can find something, but depending on how long she is going to stay there - sometimes a five year machine might be just what she needs since converting a high end machine to US electricity might be difficult.
