The numbers are quite clear though.
If you can only get 183,000 people at most to march in December, then you can’t claim to represent 7.5 million people.
I mean if we're going by that extremely narrowed classification that has moved the goalposts so far away that one's in Macau and the other one has been extradited to Taiwan, the pro-government demonstrators have an even shittier claim due to the presence of only a couple of hundred of protesters.
And by that logic basically every single mass protest in history has no claim to represent a majority of the people. Goodbye Color Revolutions.
Historically, that is the case as shown by the number of participants compared to the whole.
