“We do not grant licence for the American movie Barbie to release in Vietnam because it contains the offending image of the nine-dash line,”
I think the article is saying that the movie is actually displaying China’s unilaterally claimed line and Vietnam is banning it for doing so. i.e. against China’s wishes right?
edit: Oh, I misred cyborganism’s comment. I thought he was saying Vietnam was trying to enter China’s market.
The comment was saying that the movie included the nine dash line to allow it access to the Chinese market. Had they not included it, they might have had their film banned in China.
Gotta appeal to China somehow to enter their market to get all that money.

Thanks for pointing that out, updated.
What about this reads as against China’s wishes? They love having their territorial claims recognized.
Yeah I misred the purpose of his comment. Thanks.
