"With President Obama scheduled to visit Beijing on Monday, city authorities have banned souvenir vendors from selling a popular t-shirt depicting the president as a Mao-era red guard," reports Foreign Policy.
"The T-shirts have Obama’s image in a Red Guard uniform. Since he was elected the US president last year, the T-shirt has had a ready market.

Business owners have been notified that after Obama ends his visit to China, they can resume the sale." - China Digital Times
