CIA files released in the last year affirm that the CIA helped insure that Mao won.

Yeah, C&H indicate that there were a number of Americans in the Mao effort, to include Edgar Snow, Anna Louise Strong, an un-named American bank [I really wish they'd named the bank], Gen Patrick Hurley, George Marshall, and probably the entire US State Department, among others.

I may be wrong.

But I have a very faint impression it was Bank of America.

Thanks for the details.
