due to a scene that depicts a map of the South China Sea with the “nine-dash line” that is contested by the Vietnamese government.
The film, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, was scheduled for release in Vietnam on July 21. The controversial “nine-dash line” represents China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea, which Vietnam disputes. The U-shaped line was also repudiated in an international arbitration ruling by a court in The Hague in 2016. China refuses to recognise the ruling. Vi Kien Thanh, director general of the Vietnam Cinema Department, under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said the ban was decided by Vietnam’s National Film Evaluation Council.

They're kind and helpful. It's the mermaids who are the real demons. That's the upside-down premise to DreamWorks Animation's sweet 'Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken,' a tale of generational sisterhood with the message to not hide your difference.
