Does anyone know if CRI or any other Chinese outlet still uses the 'East is Red'
interval signal on any of its broadcasts at all?

Opening notes yes, and the bells of the old CRI/Telephone tower
wedding cake buildings still play it on the hour clock, though I must admit
I haven't heard it for a while.
Why?

On http://www.uvolk.de/ ,
the China Radio International is East is Red (Dong1 Fang1 Hong2)
on trumpets
The Xizang (Tibet) is the March of Volunteers, the national
anthem. Often you will hear a few notes of East, then March
and ID over the end. The March is being used a lot to inculcate
patriotism lately, on TV now in Hong Kong.

http://www.intervalsignals.net/ has a vintage East is Red
(Russian Service, their most important service)
East = Dong as in Mao ZheDong
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~RP4N-KWM...nd2/index.html
has a set of date-stamped IS.
Modern China rarely uses IS, but does have opening themes.
