There are no communists anymore.
The Russia and china of today are really right wing technocratic Hyper-nationalistic authoritarian states. Putin and Xi’s outlook really have far more in common with those of Mussolini and Pinochet than Marx, Lenin, Stalin or Mao. The difference between them and the two classical right wing authoritarian state I mentioned are both of the two modern states, particularly china, are far more efficient and effective, with much deeper industrial and technological depth compare to their contemporaries, than italy or Chile.
Neither of them have anything in common with communists other than the fact both still use the communist red star and hammer and sickle in many of their national symbols and insignias for historical reasons.
