RUSSIA LOOKS TO CHINA FOR EXAMPLE IN GOVERNING
You have to read far down into the article to the important point that the reason Russia is looking to China is because Russia's economy is largely dependent on oil, while China's is based on manufacturing.

China originally based their system on Russia's, but the two nations diverged as Russia moved to a Western model and China continued on with the Communist model, but began adapting it to real world conditions and rapidly industrialized. Now, China is weathering the worldwide economic storm much better than Russia (and much of the rest of the world).
