I've been to China and would have no problem with any family member going there. You really have to step out of line to get into problems. And the food WAS horrible. Worst Mongolian beef I ever had was within 50 miles of Mongolia! That's what they serve at hotels and restaurants catering to tourists, and charge $20 per meal. On the other hand, if you wander into one of the local street markets, the food is fabulous---We got a bowl of stir fried pork that was huge, virtually all meat----fed 8 people, for 40 cents. The vendor wouldn't even take $1 for it---kept saying "too much".
