Because the Russians didn't import billions of dollars worth of cut rate crap for companies to make a huge profit on.

Because the Chinese have done a better job of opening themselves to the free markets of the West. The Russians are still living in the Cold War in many respects. With Putin being ex-KGB, it makes sense. He wants to run all the business interests in the country. China has been much more open to foreign investment

The Chinese realize that they have to be part of the global economy to become stronger, while the Soviets isolated themselves and eroded from within. China will not be socialist for very long. The people are too exposed to the free world with things such as the internet.. It is only a matter of time before their govt changes.

Really? What makes you think that?
Communism is communism -- all evil.
The difference is that the Soviet Union had the means to destroy us. The Chinese are still not there yet, so they do not represent the same level of threat as the Soviets did.

Money, it's always about money.
The Russians were against capitalism and had closed economic markets, whereas the Chinese are open to it, hence there are more "opportunities" in China and more trade.
It's always about "one hand washing the other".

Chinese are willing to work as slaves for the West, for now.
Major changes in 20 years or less.

The russians had a socialist intent and definetly felt it was their duty to change the entire world. the U.S. is definetly threatened by that... they couldn't be controlled.
The chinese have a very democratic communist system.. it's kind of a mix, and they are generally willing to cooperate with the U.S., and don't try to change and conquer the world... simple as that.
