How long has she been there!!!!!! Most airlines won't let you travel without a passport that expires at least 6 months after your return date!!!
Contact your local passport office for info - this is a weird scenario.

Actually, it only takes 3 weeks to get a new passport from the local Canadian Consulate in China, these are located as the above mentioned throughout the country.
You do need YOUR information as well as your spouses AND your daughters as it will be you who is applying for the passport not her.
If you are in dire straits you can actually get a temporary passport in 1 or 2 days, although they are reluctant to do this, they can and will. Just ask for a temporary passport if you need it in a hurry.
Obviously you need to fill in the application, which you get at the Consulate, they are not the same as the ones you get in Canada, as these applications are for overseas applicants.
Make sure you have, birth certificates, passports, or permanent residence cards, her passport photos, and one or 2 for you as well, just incase etc....you know the usual identification.
They will then return the old passport, which I assume has her present VISA, then she just has to carry 2 passports until the present VISA expires.

make sure you have her passport renewed as soon as possible ;
if her passport only has 3 months left ? you will not be able to let her travel with such little time left
get all the papers ready for her renewal and you must take her with you for renewal .
it is a must ...........
oh? you will be in china then ? will you be long enough in China to renew her passport ? at least 6 weeks ?
here are some Canadian Embassies in China

I would imagine you could renew her passport at a Canadian Embassy or Consulate in China. Check with your passport service for details. Here is the page to check for Canadians living abroad: http://www.ppt.gc.ca/abroad/index.aspx?lang=e
