Come on Barbie, let’s go – Chinese Communist Party?
Warner Bros. says the whole notion is ridiculous, but a map depicted in the “Barbie” movie contains a crude version of the “nine-dash line,” showing China’s claims to a huge area of the Pacific Ocean south of China, has caused Vietnam to ban the film. The Philippines is considering doing the same.
Warner Bros., in a statement to Politico on Friday, said there were no geopolitics intended in “Barbie.”
“The map in Barbie Land is a child-like crayon drawing,” a spokesperson for the Warner Bros. Film Group said in the statement.
