Chinese firm, fined for giving to a GOP super PAC, also aided Democrats

American Pacific International Capital also gave smaller amounts to several state-level candidates and federal political committees supporting Democrats.
It gave $7,500, for example, to a liberal hybrid super PAC that sought to mobilize Asian American voters in support of Hillary Clinton, the Center for Responsive Politics reported.
