The PRC, DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba are all socialist countries, with Venezuela and Nicaragua as budding proto-socialist projects. The former USSR was of course also socialist.

    Cuba and China are currently 56 and 57th in the world for life expectancy. Even if there was a time where their life expectancy improved faster than the rest of the world because of socialist policies, their edge has since then disappeared.

    When compared to peer countries, they consistently outperform, thanks to the capabilities of socialism. Cuba is under intense embargo, and the countries at the top are all imperialist, existing only due to plundering the global south.
