That really only works when the majority don’t have power. The Hong Kong protests failed because it was a minority trying to take power they never had, against the wishes of the majority.
Also international news agencies spilling the beans on the fact the leaders of the group were in constant communication with us agencies.
You have chosen the police-reported number of protesters (338 K) instead of 2 M reported by other sources.
You have also made a false comparison between Hong Kong (~10 M people) and the entire population of China. I recommend to use percentages. Up to 20% of the local population showed up to protest. More were dissatisfied.
What number of Chinese would show up to protest if a hot topic would appear and the regime would seem weak for a moment, is unknown.

Ah yes the minority.
~300k vs 1.4 billion. That’s the definition of a minority.
That’s not an honest comparison.

It’s the working class, the majority, who don’t have power…
It’s the everyone with less than a gigabuck.
