The History of Xinjiang (Part 3) | The China History Podcast | Ep. 246

More Han Dynasty for you in this Part 3 episode with a special focus on the great diplomat and general Ban Chao. Back in those Han Dynasty days Xinjiang was still considered very far away and not so easy to hold onto.

From the Han till the Tang, as Silk Road riches continue to grow along the trade routes, China will be in and out of the Western regions and face all kinds of competition for the great wealth contained within the Tarim and Turpan basins.
