You have a similar sentiment to what is permitted to be displayed on Weibo. As we have agreed, there is strong censorship on Weibo. Do you believe that pro Hong Kong protester posts would be permitted by that censorship? Clearly there is a strong anti Hong Kong protester reaction on Weibo. But with the heavy censorship we have no idea what percentage of the Chinese population might have a different view.

You may personally have "no idea" what percentage of the Chinese population have any particular view. However those of us who know more than one mainland Chinese actually are not totally ignorant about this. We can simply talk to our friends to get some idea. And it's always hilarious to me when Chinese people post on HN and are immediately dismissed by the armchair experts here and downvoted into oblivion just because they don't conform to expectations.
