How does Signal work in the context of the Great Firewall?

Can china shut down Signal by banning traffic that seems like Signal communication??

Agreed this was my surprise about the headline. I assumed it'd be blocked.

It isn't really suitable for political dissent. I think they would be more unhappy with things like Telegram that can have huge group chats.

It works as is usually on Chinese ISPs though I noticed occasional interruptions. Using a VPN got rid of those disruptions.

People use Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Telegram with VPN in China. Twitter are mostly for porn, telegram for shady business and porn. I would assume you will probably need to use VPN for Signal.
