This is a big humiliation for CCP FM who thought it is in control. But CCP ended up being humiliated in front of the world by Iran's delayed and unacceptable response, repeatedly.
I don't understand why CCP wants to stick its finger to everyone's business in the first place, rather than focusing on its own internal reform, solving its more urgent domestic issues, and to fight one enemy-- Putin.
Exporting the internal struggles to external warfare or saving other countries is not what CCP should be doing. CCP should save itself first by reforming its own politics and mind its own business. If Xi don't listen and insist on harming China's best interest, then he and his Shanghai faction should not be there, period! Xi shouldn't even be in office after his disastrous zero COVID policy and public expulsion of Hu, jintao! If he don't reform then he should get out of the way. No more nice guys!
