Yeah it's true that even though the term West/western is so varying, it is difficult to include Russia in.
But the point of imperialism rising is valid, US might be losing grasp but Russia and China are grabbing what they can to oppress as well.
China doesn't have finance capitalists that influence their foreign policy. Their banking sector is nationalized.
Also I wouldn't call Russia's actions imperialist as they haven't installed foreign governments for labour surplus and commodity extractions anywhere (yet).
