Staff Comments
The Chinese name for this project is 紧急大米援助.'China delivers aid funds to Cuba worth 36 mln USD for development' and other sources explicitly state that the Chinese and Cuban governments signed on a document on this donation. When and whether the actual donation went through is unknown. This issue merits further investigation.
