Vietnam banned the movie Barbie because of a scene with a map depicting China’s disputed territorial claims in the South China Sea.

Vietnam is among several countries that dispute China’s claims to almost all of the South China Sea.

The Barbie movie, which has already taken social media by storm, is set to hit theaters on July 21.

It is unclear which scene depicts what one senior official called an “offensive image” of China’s nine-dash line.

The nine-dash line is used on Chinese maps of the South China Sea to indicate its territorial claims.

Beijing has been building military bases on artificial islands in the region for years and also frequently conducts naval patrols in the region in an effort to assert its territorial claims.

The nine-dash line was denounced in a 2016 international arbitration ruling by a court in The Hague, but Beijing does not recognize the ruling.

At the time, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague had ruled that China has no “historical rights” to most of the strategically important waters in the South China Sea.

Barbie is not the only production banned from Vietnam because of the nine-dash line.

In 2019, the DreamWorks animated film Abominable was pulled for the same reason. Three years later, Sony’s action film Uncharted was also rejected by the Film Department, a government body responsible for licensing and censoring foreign films.

Two years ago, Australian spy drama Pine Gap was pulled from the Vietnam market by Netflix, following a complaint from the authorities.

China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei all have competing claims in the South China Sea.
