Formally Russia is. Of course the reality is a bit different but they still do a lot of things that would not fly in China.

And yes every country gets worse over the time.

After long centuries of tyranny. Unfortunately many decades of democracy has made everything think it is the natural order of things and nothing more needs to be done. But actually non-democratic forces and democracy are always in a dynamic balance that can swing to either side if we don't keep giving active counter-force.
