The donation included nearly 100 pieces of machinery, including 25 dump trucks, 25 vibrocompactors, six front loaders, 26 generators with lighting for night operations, backhoe excavators and other equipment. This will “allow the expansion of trade in Cuban airports and will boost the tourism industry,” China's ambassador to Cuba, Ma Hui, was quoted as saying during the donation ceremony by local paper Diario de Cuba. https://www.bnamericas.com/en/news/china-donates-construction-equipment-to-cuba related: Cuba wins China debt relief, new funds China has agreed to restructure Cuban debt and provide new trade and investment credits to the beleaguered Caribbean Island nation after a meeting in Peking between the two Communist countries’ leaders.
