Currently not in mainland China.
Chinese App Store already removed Damus so I think whoever run it will be facing similar charge like providing VPN services, usually 37days in jail and the charge will be dropped after paying fine.
Since relay is like ‘providing service’ so it might be treated as a very severe VPN provider case who was charged for 5 and half yrs (highly unlikely).
But overall I feel now it’s still quiet safe to experimentally relays, most case is inviting for tea and pay some fine. We could help in case need legal advice.
