Vietnam has launched an inspection into K-pop group Blackpink’s tour organizer’s website, ahead of its concert in Hanoi, over criticism from fans that it shows a map of the South China Sea with disputed boundaries.
The controversy follows Vietnam’s decision to ban Warner Bros.’ highly anticipated film “Barbie” over a scene allegedly featuring the “nine-dash line” used in Chinese maps to illustrate Beijing’s claims over vast areas of the South China Sea, including swathes of what Vietnam considers its continental shelf.
The organizer’s website was inaccessible on Thursday but a cached version seen by Reuters, and last updated on July 4, shows a vague nine-dash line that encompasses nearly the whole South China Sea.Vietnam and China have long had overlapping territorial claims to a potentially energy-rich stretch in the waterway. The Southeast Asian country has repeatedly accused Chinese vessels of violating its sovereignty.
