Stalin didn't believe CCP would win.
He apologized.
First, to the surprise and satisfaction of Liu and his
comrades, Stalin apologized for failing to give sufficient assistance to the
CCP during the civil war. According to Shi Zhe's recollection, Stalin
asked Liu in the second meeting: "Have we disturbed you [in China's civil
war]?" Liu replied: "No!" Stalin answered: "Yes, we have been in the
way of hindrance to you because our knowledge about China is too
limited."
Your friend, (oh, is he)? may not apologize, because:
He still doesn't know your potential.
Or, he is egocentric.
