Upcoming movie `Barbie` and South Korean girl group BLACKPINK have sparked outrage in Vietnam after using maps displaying China`s disputed nine-dash line in their promotional materials.
The nine-dash line is a cartographic representation used by China to assert its territorial claims over a significant portion of the South China Sea, a stance that is strongly contested by Vietnam and other countries in the region.
