It’s hard to go against the founding principles of a country without questioning the government in power’s right to rule. China did that but it still calls itself as Socialist despite shifting greatly from being a Communist country like under Mao or USSR. It had to rebrand itself as Socialist with Chinese characteristics but it’s hard to go about and deny Prophet Mohamed if he is supposed to be an infallible divine figure where you draw legitimacy from. Iran is a theocracy and until that changes it must abide by the Quran and the Hadiths which is especially hard because it’s not as flexible of religion like Hinduism or even Christianity.What the fuck is a Chinese? We look different, speak different dialect that we barely understand each other. So I don't think race has to do Iran not being as unified as China. Because China too has diverse people under 'Chinese'. Persians can expand if they culturally assimilate other ethnicities, then race cease to matter.
Iran on other hand took the shortcut. They never believed themselves. Instead of building their mandate, they rely on superstition. Anything good they do is the work of Allah. Anything bad is their own fault since Allah is never wrong. Under this system Iran will never trully succeed. They will never have mandate, merely a middle man to their god. They are not the boss of their country, they are only managers. And since god do not exist, anyone can pretend themselves follow god better than they are.
