Vietnam's Ban on 'Barbie' Movie Sparks Diplomatic Controversy

Vietnamese officials have banned the upcoming "Barbie" film due to scenes showing a map with China's disputed territorial claims in the South China Sea, known as the "nine-dash line." This is the second film to be banned in Vietnam for featuring the nine-dash line, with the previous one being "Uncharted." The Chinese cinema market's influence has led Hollywood filmmakers to be increasingly cautious about ensuring their films are well received by Chinese censors.
