Russia and China both have elected parlaments and in both cases, just as in the United States, the parlament/congress controls all spending, and votes on the budget. The budget of both contries is public information just as it is here.
Do they hide certain spending for this like intelligence? Of course -- the Pentagon does the same thing. But the overall budget is known, just not the specifics of what the Pentagon uses the money for.
