I wouldn't say its horrible, but you are correct in where the breaks happen, if 
they happen. It's usually not an issue if your container is sized to fit the 
text.

And what is "Western" text embedded inside CJK text?

That is a horrible solution in general for 'western' text as it breaks words at 
any arbitrary point, without respect for grammar and word-breaking rules; it 
might work in very controlled environments, eventually. Or for 'western' text 
strings embedded inside CJK text.
