> Western powers as of late seem to be pushing for a singular sphere of influence, as opposed to accepting the bipolar or tripolar world that has naturally developed after World War II I wouldn't say there was anything natural about the bipolar post-WWII world.

You'll never have a country willingly cede advantage to another -- only transient configurations of alliances, agendas, and resources that lead to temporarily stable multipolar scenarios.
