Exactly. HongKongers dont consider themselves Chinese.

When asked, over 50% of Hong Kong people identified as “Hongkonger[s]”, even though various Chinese options were available.¹ Clearly then at least some non-protesters agree.

At their height, about a half of Hong Kong's labour force (people aged over 15) hit the streets.

This doesn't help the discussion. Also, anything less than half is a minority.

Not everyone participates, some are scared probably.
The hongkongers are protesting, so in Hong Kong your minority is 100% of the residents.
Your statement is deceptive

Are you saying that every Hong Kong resident would choose to protest if not scared?

If a country is 33.33% of three different groups, are all 3 a minority?

I suppose so. Though it's much clearer when the matter is dichotomous, such as "going to protest"/"not going", and "GOP"/"Democratic" (I know, I know, but independent is not significant).

Yeah, abject outcasts sponsored by black hands from America and the UK.

As I noted in another comment, a majority of Hong Kong people did not identify themselves as “Chinese” when given the choice.⁰ It is rather implausible to claim that over three million Chinese people are “sponsored by black hands from America and the UK”. Moreover it is quite unlikely that the majority of them are “abject outcasts.” And, finally, as a Marxist, I should like to know in what sense you consider your remarks to be compatible with the compassion for “outcasts” that animated at the very least Marx: “we should not abandon Marxism-Leninism;”¹ “[a]ll Party members must…be firm in their commitment to…the Marxist view on development;”² “[w]e must adhere to Marxism.”³
