Textbook used in Victorian schools repeats Chinese government propaganda
Among the concerns regarding the textbook is the inclusion of the “nine-dash line” map which shows China claiming most of the South China Sea – a position contested by Australia and numerous othrr countries in the region and challenged by an international tribunal. It is labelled in the book as the “map of China”.
The publishers said that its inclusion was a production error.
On top of this misleading information, the textbook also included portions that repeated Chinese Communist party propaganda.

#Netflix removes episodes showing China's arbitrary nine-dash line after #Philippines' Complaints
The Philippine government has ordered Netflix to remove parts of the Australian drama series "#PineGap" on its platform for "violating Philippine #sovereignty".
The series features a map of the #NineDashLine, an invisible demarcation controversially used by China to claim its territories in the #SouthChinaSea.
The second and third episodes of the series were no longer available in the Philippines by November 1, 2021. Netflix announced that those episodes had been "removed by government's demand". It did not elaborate further.
China lays claim to most of the South China Sea waters within the so-called nine-dash line, a U-shaped feature used on Chinese maps. Parts of the resource-rich waters are also contested by the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam.
The Permanent Court of Arbitration handed down a ruling on July 12, 2016, stating that China's historic-rights claim over the maritime areas inside the nine-dash line has no lawful effect. There has also no evidence supporting China's exclusive rights over the waters and resources.
