(Css Spec) Clarification on containing block definition

Guys I have a little question about containing block, By definition containing block is the nearest ancestor that is a block container(containing only block-level or inline-level boxes) or which establishes a formatting context but here in this code :

<DIV id="div1">
    <P id="p1">This is text in the first paragraph...</P>
    <P id="p2">This is text
      <EM id="em1"> in the 
        <STRONG id="strong1">second</STRONG>
      paragraph.</EM>
    </P>
</DIV>

<DIV id="div1">
    <P id="p1">This is text in the first paragraph...</P>
    <P id="p2">This is text
      <EM id="em1"> in the 
        <STRONG id="strong1">second</STRONG>
      paragraph.</EM>
    </P>
</DIV>

The spec says that the containing block for strong element is the second paragraph(id=p2), but if we follow the definition shouldnt the 'em' element be the containing block since it contains only inline-level elements therefore being the nearest block container? Anyone can enlighten me on this 🧐
