The are 1 billion people in China who have easy access to Android phones which do not have Google Play Services installed and provide no access the Play store. There are potentially more than 10 people out of those 1 billion that could have a use for Signal.

Sure, but does signal work in China? I'd be impressed if it did without any tunneling.

Last time I played a bit with Signal, about a year ago, the app was a bit fussy but functioned without extra measures. And I believe it was the sign up procedure that was a bit fussy. Regarless, though, Chinese communications controls are constantly improving, and what works one day will not necessarily work the next.
