Sold an expensive book – shipped to China

Well, I got an order for a $200 book and was cheerfully packing it up and then got to buying postage when I discovered the buyer is in China. So, after using the pathetic allowance ($24) from Amazon, and adding $17 of my own money I shipped it off (by DHL).
I have a bad feeling about this.
Will my shipment get there?
Will they demand a refund because _____?
I only ask because last time I sent something (a CPU) to China by eBay, they claimed it was never delivered and that was $350 gone!
I live in hope!
