Abominable: A DreamWorks movie, a map, and a huge regional row

Vietnamese media featured this photograph - showing the controversial dashed line - which was taken in the cinema

The contentious map shows the"nine-dash line", which China uses to show its claims in the South China Sea. It's about a Chinese girl from Shanghai who discovers a yeti on her roof, strikes up a friendship with him, and - against all odds - manages to take him back to Mount Everest. China says it has always controlled a large chunk of this territory. The nine-dash line carves out by far the largest portion - leaving only a small coastal strip to each of the other claimants.The other claimants beg to differ.

Within China, the sea is routinely shown with the nine-dash line. So for the Chinese side of the co-production, it's simply an accurate and normal map.

Abominable: anger grows over controversial map in Chinese children's filmThree countries object to animated movie scene showing Chinese territorial claims in South China Sea BOYCOTT THIS CHINESE PROPAGANDA Wow it only taken a century to realise that soft propaganda is real. Hollywood, Disney have all contributed to a fabrication of historical facts and blatant alteration to actual documented events to fit an entertainment agenda. A boycott is the right call, or let me put it this way, the movie was never aimed for you guys in the first place. It's theirs, the Chinese. They are required to watch it at least twice I guess, just to show their patriotism. antichinazi BoycottChina
