I can think of far fewer films that include detailed political world maps than exclude them, though.

I don't mean to contradict you, your comment just made a good opening to post the world map from the movie. The map is really (really…) not detailed, and honestly I find it hard to identify the problem border in it off the coast of "Asia".
Somebody on Twitter pointed out the sea border around Greenland is controversial as well, something about fishing rights.

Wow. That’s really something.
I’m sure at least some of us here recall professors being investigated and fired for not disclosing relationships with China.
I’m also guessing none of this is disclosed by movie studios?

what hollywood does for US imperialism is also shameful and obfuscated. studios work closely with military and CIA and no it is not disclosed as propaganda.
the defense against this in this thread can be summarized as "it doesn't matter" or "it's not that much" while it is what's happening
