> If Wikileaks was as altruistic about shedding light on the evils of the world, why haven’t they published anything about China, or about Russia?

We should first determine if they had any comparable material about China or Russia and if this came from credible whistleblowers. Wikileaks for sure had at hand material supplied by US personnel working in the US Army and intelligence agencies. I would guess that being able to obtain material of similar value by whistleblowers of verifiable credibility from China or Russia would have been extremely hard.

I would wager said whistleblowers are dead or are too afraid to come forward.

Which says a lot about the difference of tolerance and freedom between USA and China and Russia by itself.

Tolerance and freedom like the kind extended to Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden?
