Vietnam bans 'Barbie' screening for running map showing China's territorial claims

Authorities in Vietnam have banned commercial screenings of Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' because it contains a scene that depicts a map with the 'nine dash line', a representation of China's territorial claims in the South China Sea. The film, inspired by the plastic doll and starring Australian actress Margot Robbie, was due to start screening in Vietnamese cinemas as well as United States on July 21.
