The Hans are a very proud people.
Their mindset is shaped by the Concept of Legalism. The quickest way to understand it is at
Legalism (philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
The sudden onslaught, if I may use the word even though it is not what it is, has unnerved them since they had become the darling of the world and thought that the Olympics would showcase their coming out as an equal and not pariah nation with the big players of the world.
Therefore, their dreams have come crashing down and as far as the overseas Chinese are concerned, they feel that the Han prestige is taken a toss and hence are not too pleased.
As far as Tibet is concerned, the Chinese consider it as a vassal state and thus expect them to identify with the Han identity. Any rebellion thus to this diktat is an action against the State and that is not accepted by the mindset set by Legalism and it does not matter if the Han feeling so is a Communist or not a Communist or a Oversea Chinese.
