TL;DR Summary

Vietnam has banned the commercial screenings of the upcoming film "Barbie" due to a scene depicting the controversial "nine-dash line" in the South China Sea, which China uses to assert territorial claims. This is not the first movie banned in Vietnam over maps showing the line, as the government previously banned "Abominable" and "Uncharted." The ban reflects the ongoing dispute between China and other nations in the region, including Vietnam, over the South China Sea.
