We need to do something to reach the people of China.
What likely is needed first is to re-acquire private, secure communication methods.
When the surveillance state has achieved high awareness of most everything it is looking at, then communication methods that are not visible to the surveillance systems are even more critical. Without them, participants trading in bitcoin (or promoting bitcoin) will be detected, interrogated, and made an example of.

Genuine question: is an app like Sphinx Chat that runs over Lightning something that could work? Is it secure and private enough? I seem to recall a time a few months ago when Discord, Twitter, iMessage etc were all experiencing downtime but Sphinx was working.

Seems like it would work, for the threat model of a casual bitcoin user / P2P trader simply trying to operate essentially below the radar.
Perhaps @paul could weigh in on where any concerns might lie.
