- History
Chinese Revolutions is a podcast showing how China came to be the way it is today. We are looking at modern Chinese history through the lens of revolutionary movements from the Opium Wars to the present.

Your host, Nathan Bennett, lived in China for seven years. This podcast is a love letter and a farewell letter to that country.
