Not sure there's even a question in your post, but I'll answer anyways...

Before sending her on her merry way, someone could set her phone up already, ready to go BEFORE departure.
There's Sim Cards available that allow decent data speeds in China, and installing a good VPN in advance will ensure she isn't 100% reliant on WiFi.
Setting up WeChat and Alipay for her and showing her how it works, will ensure she can pay for pretty much anything in China without issues.

At least she will be on an organized tour -if I read the post correctly- and not just let loose to fend for herself completely.

Brave woman though.
