Chinese International student wanting to enter US on F-1 Visa

enter the US as a Chinese citizen on a F1 visa

That depends on where she is currently located. https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/world.php -> USA:

students with an F-1 or M-1 visa and their F-2 and M-2 dependents [are allowed] if they arrive from or have been in Ireland (Rep.), United Kingdom or Schengen Member States in the past 14 days.

I'm confused what "arrive from country X" means. According to an English dictionary, this means that it doesn't matter how much time one spent in country C. But this contradicts common sense. As a result, I don't know whether she can fly China -> Schengen/UK/IE -> US without staying in Schengen/UK/IE for over 14 days. My guess is no but worth calling some Chinese embassy in the US to confirm, because the information on IATA is ambiguous.
