OTOH, China, over their millennia, have a history rich with times when the Mandate from Heaven was strong with wise emperors in peaceful times and when the ruler was cruel, rebellion and war. When we see the overall history, choices made by people who forgot history and excess hubris to think they were the mandate from heaven.. this continues to this day..
When Tsar Nikolai and his family were martyred, the mandate was lost. From earth.
And the Russian people suffered for 7 decades under the boots of a multitude of demons posing as KGB, commissars, Beria's crew. and much much more..
But when the Tsar was glorified as a saint with his family, the nation was restored... it’s pretty amazing.
