而对于新疆来说，最近的暴动在本质上是社会意义而不是国家意义上的，目的是反对文化压迫（汉族已经占到了本地区人口的一半）而不是表达独立的诉求。
In Xinjiang itself, the current agitation is more social than nationalist in character, and targets cultural oppression (Han Chinese by now make up half of the region’s population) rather than expressing aspirations for independence.
