TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry revolves around the inability of a Chinese woman to apply as a dependent on the O-X Visa. Suggestions from commenters include considering the Elite visa, which offers a five-year term, and the notion that she might qualify for her own visa based on financial independence.

No she is not 50 and from what I have read, only 14 countries can apply for O-X , China is not one of them.
