Senator Ted Cruz blasted Warner Bros. Pictures after Vietnam announced it was banning the distribution of the film Barbie because it shows a map featuring contested territory claimed by China.
“I guess Barbie is made in China…” Cruz tweeted following the news.
The controversy surrounds a scene in the picture featuring a fantastical “World Map” with a crude outline of the “nine-dash line,” a contested swath of the South China Sea unilaterally claimed by the People’s Republic of China that includes the Spratly and Paracel Islands.
