Knowledge is the best way to control someone. Everybody in mainland China are focused on Hong Kong right now and other countries around the world are also aware of us. Unfortunately most maindlanders have a bad opinion on the protesters here but it's not their fault.
The CCP is restricting so much information there that when maindlanders make opinions off the information they have the best conclusion they can come to is that we are a bunch of violent children who want to play games when we are not we want to achieve a goal... but the CCP makes their people believe that we are terrible by not giving them access to the correct information. If we start protesting for mainlanders freedom of internet and information the mainlanders will likely see us and find it odd we are protesting for them and hopefully sympathize with us in some way and lose loyalty to their own government. Either that could happen or coverage on us in the mainland would be totally shut down which would be difficult to do and mainlanders would likely find this odd and look into it better. We could also raise global awareness for China's freedom of information issue.
I think that this is worth a try. Doing this could not only help our cause and possibly reduce violence but also help the 1.4 billion people in the mainland who don't know the real truth. Protesting on the streets against China seems like its going no where sometimes and we need to take things to another platform and gain support from our enemies if we want to win.
