Abstract

The article focuses on Vietnam's decision to remove the Chinese television series "Shine on Me" from Netflix due to its depiction of the "nine-dash line" map, which Vietnam views as a violation of its national sovereignty in the context of territorial disputes in the South China Sea. The Vietnamese Department of Cinema stated that the map misrepresents the country's territorial claims, leading to the series being classified as category C, which prohibits its distribution. This action follows Vietnam's previous bans on other media, including the movie "Barbie," for similar reasons, highlighting the nation's sensitivity regarding China's maritime claims.
