Which dynasty claimed to rule china under the mandate of heaven?

basically all of them. The Mandate of Heaven was a religious order that didn't die with the change in dynasties, much like how Christianity didn't die with the fall of the Roman Empire or Holy Roman Empire.

How did theocracy evolve in the roman empire?

While the Roman Empire was never a theocracy as we know it - it was not ruled by a priesthood in the name of any deity - it is also true that Roman emperors did often declare themselves to be gods, and erected shrines to themselves. That was a quasi-theocracy - much like the current government of North Korea, which has deified the current dictator, Kim Jong Il.

How could have the Roman Empire survived?

The Roman Empire was one of the most flexible and effective systems in the history of the world. It was diverse enough to change from one form to another. If it was required of the empire, the empire would probably split into many parts, even go back to the Republic. The empire was very resilient, and the empire's power was strong enough to withstand any assault. However, with the continued incompetence and stupidity from the emperors, a republican system would probably be the most effective way. These continuations of incompetence were only stabilized by one or two emperors, then sent back to the dogs. Some emperors were so paranoid, they executed the people that held the entire empire together, like Empire Honorius and his general, Stilicho. The continuation of mistakes and miscalculations caused the fall of the Empire to proceed extremely rapidly. However, in the East, the empire did not fall until the 1400s. Furthermore, the empire in the east was governed more effectively. Probably, the empire could have been reunified, but with much less territory and less power than before.
