“Barbie” is the latest movie to be banned in Vietnam for depicting China’s controversial nine-dash line, which was repudiated in an international arbitration ruling by a court in The Hague in 2016. China refuses to recognize the ruling. The movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, was originally slated to open in Vietnam on July 21, the same date as in the United States, according to state-run Tuoi Tre newspaper.
Aside from Vietnam, other countries, including the Philippines, also have overlapping claims in the territorial waters being claimed by China. On July 12, 2016, the Philippines won the petition it filed before the arbitral tribunal against China’s all-encompassing claim over territories in the South China Sea, deemed a potential flashpoint in the region because of the giant country’s show of military might.
