A group of Chinese tourists wear T-shirts with the illicit ‘nine-dash line’ map. "After completing immigration procedures, the tourists went out to wait for buses to Nha Trang," Quan said. The Chinese tourists were travelling to Vietnam on a tour operated by Aladdin Co. Ltd.A representative from the tour company said it was not until the Chinese tourists had passed immigration that the company’s tour guide realised their clothes featured the map. “We asked them to get changed and confiscated all the T-shirts at the airport to be handed over to the authorities,” Aladdin's representative said.
