| Indonesia objected to Chinese passport move | Indonesia has for the first time revealed that it protested to China about the publication in its passports of its controversial "nine-dash line" claim to almost the entire South China Sea.
Beijing's decision to print the new map last year prompted furious protests from the Philippines and Vietnam, which also claim large parts of the South China Sea.
Indonesia made no public statement at the time, even though the nine-dash line cuts through its so-called Exclusive Economic Zone in the gas-rich Natuna Sea, where international energy companies such as ExxonMobil and Total are operating.
