According to official Vietnamese media reports, Vietnam has pulled over a DreamWorks animated film "Abominable" from the cinema. A map of the scene shows China's unilaterally announced "nine-dot line" in the South China Sea.
The U-shaped line is a function used on maps of China to illustrate its broad range of claims for the resource-rich South China Sea, including large areas of land that Vietnam considers as the continental shelf, and has granted oil concessions on the continental shelf.
China and Vietnam, after dispatching a ship to conduct an energy survey in the waters controlled by Vietnam in early July, fell into a deadlock for months in controversial ways.
