Monopsony power confronts monopoly power to squeeze out rent extraction.

China and India are also under no illusions about the US plan is dominate energy in order to gain another lever of power in addition to the global reserve currency to control the world economically as well as financially — in the favor of US interests, of course, despite all the noise about "rule-based order," "freedom and democracy," "human rights," and "Western values." The US has exhausted the creditability of that, actions speaking louder than words.

This is not only economic but also strategic.
