But anyway back on to a serious topic China and Russia both have strong communist leaders (Though Puttin claims to be an ex KGB (ex-communist) he runs his government's foreign policy like the old Soviet Block.) China is less openly hostile to foreign policy but they are still rather "guarded" in their contacts.

I was not aware that xenophobia and/or protection of your national interests equalled Communism.
China never reached a "Communist" state. Ever since Kissinger successfully opened their borders to trade with the US back in the 60s, they have moved more and more away from the Soviet form of "Communism" (which is in quotes because it was never actually Communism) to "merely" a military dictatorship.
