Default Is bipolarity coming?

Is bipolarity coming?
If one has difficulty to discern the emerging bipolarity then just juxtapose defense budget of countries such as by 2023 The US's defense budget might be $800billion and China's $ 300 billion while no other country spends more than $80 billion on their forces( even Russia's defense budget is $ 69 billion). Interestingly, this bipolarity is unprecedented as China economic success and political stability was built on liberal order, unlike the 20th-century bipolarity which was based on sheer inverse political and economic ideology- capitalism and communism.

So, what is ahead?
Conceptually speaking, the world order in truly in a revolutionary phase, no one has on way to see the future, but one can extrapolate unprecedented order, given the tectonic shifts on the world stage in every stride of life from politics to economy (China embrace free trade and the US tends to abandon) and from social order(cosmopolitan culture) to technology(IA).
