Prepaid Sim card for China

My wife's going to China for a worktrip soon and would like to take a prepaid Sim to use while there. Any ideas which would be best ones?

    If she will be working and needs to be contacted from within China without the need for an international call, she will need a Chinese SIM and phone number. A dual SIM handset will be useful if she also needs her UK number connected at the same time.

    Thanks, that's good to know. I think she's just mainly wanting to be able to call back home and use data on the trip without having to worry about costs getting out of hand.
