15 amps is the circuit limit not the actual current. The voltage is a fixed value, not the current. The current can be found by dividing the voltage by your body electrical resistance (Ohm's law). Therefore, it is your body resistance that will dictate the current value and this will vary depending of where the current enters/exits your body.

Well, the common voltage in China is 220V compared to 120V here, so that can factor in. 120V will give you quite a jolt but 240V (also available here for larger appliances) will do some damage. 220V in China should be similar and it'd depend on if the circuit was broken or if she stayed in contact with the electricity.
