Years ago (1970's-80s) my grandmother, who was a long-time resident of the Mission district and a very social person, was somehow friends with an older white guy who ran a Chinese language bookstore in the Mission that specialized in translations of books from PRC. She told me the PRC funded his bookstore, which despite barely any customers or open hours stayed mysteriously afloat for years. I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of their financial largesse extended to political groups like the Chinese Progressive Association.
