'Bone of contention' = tranh đấu vì khúc xương (của mấy chú cún đó các bạn) -> vấn đề chính của sự bất đồng, nguyên nhân gây tranh cãi; một vấn đề, tranh luận, mối bất hòa chưa được giải quyết.
Ví dụ
Kashmir has been a bone of contention between India and Pakistan. We have fought wars over Kashmir. We have played politics over Kashmir. But have we ever really thought about the Kashmiris?
Huawei was the world's number two smartphone producer last year, ahead of Apple and behind South Korea's Samsung, as well as the largest provider of telecom networking equipment, but the firm has emerged as a key bone of contention in the wider China-U.S. trade war.
Section-32 of the bill (dự luật) that is about offering licences to community health providers to practice medicine is a major bone of contention among many doctors. The fact that a private medical college has the right to fix fees for 50 per cent of seats is going to be debated and is seen as a problem area.
