"A month after resign­ing, she left her husband and two children in the US and took a job as dean of a school of public health in Shanghai."

Where does her family now live? This seems to say she got a divorce and moved to China?

I'm pretty sure this just means she moved to China but her family didn't. It's a bit of an awkward phrasing as it includes "she left her husband" but adding "in the US" means she just left him behind rather than divorcing him.
