The SFCED section about the ChinaSF provides more insight on why San Francisco and a ChinaSF office are a good match.

You may have already read the reasons for that listed here, here and there. Here's more reasons.

From the Why San francisco? page on the SFCED website :

San Francisco is a leader in innovation, intellectual capital and offers the world's best employees because of its unparalleled quality of life.

Top Global Talent." Key words here are best educated city, culturally diverse, high productivity rate, large amount of patents, highly-qualified, bi-lingual professionals like no where else (except maybe for the Austin, Texas, area, as it seems to be the only place in the US left where they're still offering jobs), welcoming atmosphere.

"Vibrant Business Economy." Thriving sectors such as biotech, cleantech... "Supported by access to the largest venture capital investment community in the United States, world-class business services and the most educated, diverse workforce of any major city"

"Innovation." Key info : cutting-edge businesses in innovative fields such as biotech (that's right,work that angle, it works!), clean technology, and more. "San Francisco is not only the gateway to China - San Francisco is also the "front door" to Silicon Valley and all of the incredible technology companies that thrive in America's epicenter of innovation. "

"Established Chinese Community. Because more than 25% of the City's population is of Chinese ancestry".

"Local Government." as in they support and welcome Chinese business partnerships.

Business Environment. as in it's GOOD.

Location. San Francisco has long been at the center of global trade. Well connected, international gateway, and so forth.
