大聲嗌獨立既人，唔一定真係想獨立既。 佢地咁做既原因，可能同呀咩師奶，咩太之流成日嗌離婚一樣，不外乎係想draw attention，或者睇中隻鑽戒，或者想加家用之類。 無他，佢地知你唔敢比佢走丫嘛。到你同意離婚既時候，佢地仲驚過你。。。所謂外國勢力援助，就好似亞聰聰呢d姦夫咁，無事既時候山盟海誓，有事既時候走夾唔抖。。。
當然，亦有可能個老公真係唔好，成日拳打腳踢，老婆唔走唔得。。。ecwkwok 發表於 2009-7-7 11:08 
There are certainly different groups of people with different opinions.
In Quebec, for example, a lot of people probably only want to use separatism as a means to ransom for more federal benefits. On the other hand, I've also met quite a few Quebecois who really think they and Quebec are unique in the sense that they are totally different from Canadians in other provinces and territories, and that they should be considered as nation themselves. Of course, I never tried pressing them with the question of whether Quebec can actually survive on its own. But you rarely ever see this kind of sentiment in Montreal.
In Tibet, on the other hand, there is a much bigger variety of beliefs and opinions among ethnic Tibetans (I am not talking about Hans here). Some, especially the younger generation and those in the city are not too opposed to the Han-ization (漢化／大一統主意) since they have their eyes set on the prosperity and opportunities this will bring. The older generation and especially those in the more rural areas of Tibet have stronger (or much stronger resentment) towards Han-ization because they see it as the absorption, deterioration, and destruction of their own Tibetan roots and culture. And some are only in it for the political gains, whether it is funds, fame, and glory from the CPC or from an independent Tibet.
My understanding of the Urumqi situation is quite different from Tibet or Quebec because ethnic Uyghurs have long been reduced to an ethnic minority. In Xinjiang, Hans are generally more wealthy, and they control much of the economy. On the other hand, Uyghurs find themselves against discrimination (racial or otherwise), and their lives and future outlooks are grim given the social climate. Except for a tiny fraction of extremists, the people there -- including the Uyghurs -- there really isn't that much broad-based support for separatist movements. However, this doesn't mean the Uyghurs are happy. This excerpt from a news article captures their sentinments for this July 5 riot quite accurately:

記者與多名維族居民交談，發覺他們對廣東韶關玩具廠6．26群毆事件等有關意見可歸納為三點﹕
第一，事件起因是兩名維族人在韶關被人打死，但政府至今未處理事件和嚴懲兇手，這引起許多維族群眾不滿。
第二，烏魯木齊許多維族人認為，他們起先在人民廣場和平示威，但公安武警首先動粗，一些維族青年隨即大肆打砸搶燒。他們說，死者中也有維族。在二道橋，維族青年木拉提問記者，「一邊是棍棒和石頭，一邊是衝鋒槍和催淚彈，你說誰的傷亡大？」不過，新疆當局有關官員否認警方向維族人開槍，自治區宣傳部副部長侯漢敏昨對記者表示，警方面對危急情只會向天開槍，不會對人開槍。
第三，許多維族群眾不滿政府不給他們說話機會，二道橋一名不願透露的維族居民說，廣播電視等媒體上全是熱比婭、維族暴徒等信息，令人感覺好像維族人都是十惡不赦的惡魔。
For the Uyghurs, the demonization in #3 is especially frustrating.
