This quote applies to all people who live in dictatorships and don't understand that they could be free. This applies especially to mainland China where so many years of dictatorship have warped the thinking of mainland Chinese people by such a degree that they don't understand why Hong Kongers are protesting for democracy. Mainland Chinese people are by and large "caged birds" and they don't realize that they can open the cage door and fly in freedom. Once a few birds start flying out, perhaps all of them will fly and realize that they were able to fly all along. The CCP "cage owners" are afraid of that time when all mainland Chinese demand to be set free.
