I mean, would the USian ruling class want to have their working class visiting a successful socialist state?
No, but the implication here is that the Russian state has hinted at or explicitly stated to the CPC that they do not want visa free travel for their population and in order to maintain friendly relations, the CPC has obliged. Since the west has essentially taken friendly relations off the table, they don't have the leverage to do the same. This is of course all speculation and I hope that as Russia and China grow closer diplomatically, they will eventually be granted these same privileges.
