What is the 'nine-dash line' and what does it have to do with the Barbie movie?

Tuesday, July 4, 2023

The new Barbie film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is set for imminent release.

Key Points: 
  • The new Barbie film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is set for imminent release.
  • But according to Vietnam’s state-run Tuoi Tre newspaper the film’s release has been barred.

What is the nine-dash line?

    • China and Vietnam engaged in military clashes over the Paracel and Spratly Islands in the South China Sea in 1974 and 1988.
    • Since the late 1940s, China has promoted the so-called nine-dash line in the South China Sea.
    • This has especially been the case since Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam have begun to advance their own claims to parts of the South China Sea, which overlap the nine-dash line.

Who disputes the line?

    • The above position is consistently held by the Chinese Government, and is widely known by the international community.
    • Since then the commission has become something of a de facto legal battleground for various views regarding the status of the nine-dash line.
    • In 2016, a United Nations Law of the Sea Convention Tribunal ruled unanimously that China’s claim had no basis in international law.
    • This is why any legitimacy given to the nine-dash line, even in Hollywood movies, is so sensitive.

Why are maps so controversial?

    • Children are familiarised with their home country by maps.
    • Maps have historically been depicted on postage stamps, buildings, and more recently government websites.
    • Maps now depict a country digitally and this has become contested, as highlighted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
