...just like the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association.Unlike you, I have never assisted nor defended attendence at a CCPA "Mass". Who's the real schismatic?

I did not take communion. And in any event, please take it up with my confessor in Hong Kong, who said that it would be permissible (but not mandatory) to assist at a CCPA mass if it were not possible to attend a proper mass. Since most of the priests' orders are probably valid but not licit, like the SSPX priests, I don't see how it is any difference from assisting at an SSPX mass, which I assume you do.
