HANOI - Vietnam has pulled DreamWorks’ animated film “Abominable” from cinemas over a scene featuring a map which shows China’s unilaterally declared “nine-dash line” in the South China Sea, state media reported on Monday.
Last week, sports network ESPN faced criticism of its coverage of a row between the National Basketball Association and China after using a map that featured the line. The film, which was being marketed in Vietnam as “Everest: The Little Yeti” was removed from cinemas on Sunday after images of the scene with the offending map were shared widely on social media.
Calls to Nguyen Thu Ha, the head of the culture ministry’s cinema department, went unanswered on Monday. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
