Additional details

Judgement call made to separate this project from project #55742, a 1 million USD grant from Beijing Enterprises Group Company Ltd.; "China and Cuba Strengthen Trade Ties" explicitly reports that the two projects are the same. However, "集团捐款100万美元用于古巴飓风后重建," which reports on the grant found in 55742, is dated September 26, 2017, while "China, Cuba sign agreements to expand economic, trade ties," which reports on the Chinese Government 1 million USD grant, is dated October 26, 2017. "Irma pummels Cuban economy" explicitly lists the Beijing Enterprises Group and Chinese government grants as separate amounts, and "集团捐款100万美元用于古巴飓风后重建" makes no mention of granting the funds on behalf of the Chinese government.
