Hong Kong has a population of about 7.5 million, so there is no guarantee that the signers are the same people as the protesters. And if they are, that raises the question, did they really support it if they are actually on the streets opposing it? The 3 million number is actually from two petitions, one offline (with 1.83m signatures) and the other online (with 1.08m signatures).[1] A similar petition purported to be signed by about 2500 entertainers was disavowed by some of the same entertainers who had supposedly signed it,[2] so I would be doubtful about the numbers. 1. https://parstoday.com/en/news/world-i122011-nearly_3_million_people_sign_petition_backing_china%E2%80%99s_security_law_for_hong_kong https://parstoday.com/en/news/world-i122011-nearly_3_million... 2. https://hongkongfp.com/2020/06/02/artists-deny-signing-petition-backing-hong-kong-national-security-law/ https://hongkongfp.com/2020/06/02/artists-deny-signing-petit...
