Is this something exclusively practiced by China? If so, it should be moved to "Stadium diplomacy in China" or similar, or if not, rewritten to accommodate the topic in general, rather than a single case. Ξnvelope Salad  23:44, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

There are a few other countries that build stadiums as gifts. There might be one project here or two there. But only one country has turned it into a brand name initiative, and that is China. Ahabsship (talk) 17:27, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

This sounds made up
This should be deleted as many different places finance stadiums not just China. This sounds like western propaganda. Does *any* relevant dictionary even have this term in it? Providence Stadium in Guyana was financed by India so what is that called??? CaribDigita (talk) 11:19, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * At least in my area, briefly after breaking up relations with Taiwan, both Costa Rica and El Salvador got stadiums through non-refundable loans from China. I don't know about the other areas or countries, I can attest just to those examples. And the term is in use widely, both academically as well in the news and politically, here are a few first page results when searching the term:   . But I agree that the article should be properly documented though, the intro is mostly about China, but there are stadiums financed by India and the USA in the list. --Roqz (talk) 19:35, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
