The difference is Russia (the country) is poor. While China is not.

Russia's GDP is about 2017USD$ 1.7 T.

China's is 2017USD$ 12.2 T.

Companies traditionally aren't in the habit of doing favors for inconsequential entities. And for non-energy multinationals, Russia is generally more trouble than it's worth.

China pop is 1.417 bil, Russia's population is 144 million.

GDP/person: China $8,609, Russia $11,805. It's complicated to compare these two countries. China has a much larger economy so they have a bigger pool of money to spend, but then they have less per person. But both countries have huge poor groups.
