Australian spy series Pine Gap has been pulled from Netflix Vietnam.
The decision came after the Southeast Asian country expressed anger over the show's depiction of a map of the South China Sea, reports TV Tonight.
The map is featured briefly in two of the season's six episodes, and shows Beijing's claims in the Flashpoint Waterway.
The order for the series to be pulled was made by Vietnam's Authority of Broadcasting and Electronic Information.
The broadcasting authority claims the depiction of the map 'hurt feelings' and 'angered' the 'entire Vietnamese people'.
An order issued by the broadcasting ministry outlined the complaint in more detail.
'The appearance of false information about Vietnamese sovereignty in the above episodes of Netflix has seriously violated the provisions of Vietnamese law,' it read.
'In Clauses 3 and 4, Article 9, the Press Law strictly prohibits providing content that incites war, violates Vietnam’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
'Clause 4, Article 11, of the Law on Cinema prohibits content that distorts historical facts, denies revolutionary achievements, offends the nation, great men, and national heroes.'
This is the third time Netflix has been ordered to pull content from its Vietnamese streaming library in the last 12 months.
Previous removal requests were made regarding American drama series Madam Secretary and Chinese rom-com Put Your Head on My Shoulders.
A Netflix spokesperson said it would follow the 'written legal demand from the Vietnamese regulator' and remove Pine Gap from Netflix in Vietnam.
The streaming giant said the show would still be available to stream in the rest of the world.

Meanwhile they had an offensive Fourth of July special.
Do they still have cuties on their site?
They’ll carry and produce shows loaded with porn - but at least they have some moral standards and will pull a show over the image of a map...
I guess Obammy is mucho motivated not to breach Viet Nam or CCP law.
Ping!
I’m sure The Sandbaggers has offensive stuff to the modern snowflake but I am keeping my DVDS.
Pretty sure the complaints didn’t come from Vietnam. More likely China, since it controls Hollywood these days.
ChiComs got big power over most cucked media whoooores.
They will follow their masters to their graves.
Vietnam. In the 60s and 70s we sent our men to fight there. In the 2000s we sent half of the rides there from the short-lived music themed Hard Rock Park amusement park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
I’m guessing anything that offends China will be canceled worldwide rather than just in Vietnam, or probably would never make it to production in the first place.
I wasn't aware of that. Did the rides include bumper anti-aircraft gun vehicles? (reference to Jane Fonda).
If you switched jobs over two times in the last several years. I really don’t want to hire you. Lieutenant Colonel West is obviously aiming for one thing, the presidency
China wouldn’t be complaining if the Vietnamese are protesting. They are on opposite sides of the issue. The maps were obviously drawn to please China which outraged the Vietnamese.
Are you in the correct forum? Lt.COL West is not this thread. Lack of coffee?
