China is socialist, public ownership is the principle aspect of its economy and controls the commanding heights of industry. Even if you're (wrongly) defining socialism as cooperative ownership, the PRC has one of the largest cooperative sectors in the world, though it's subservient to their public sector. Huawei is an example of a cooperative. They have real elections and real democracy.
Russia is a capitalist country, yes. It's supported insofar as they align themselved with socialist countries and the global south, as well as having increasing numbers of those supportive of returning to socialism.
