A CNN correspondent said Monday she was detained
by Chinese security guards in Shanghai for two hours for displaying
a T-shirt on camera depicting US President Barack Obama as Mao
Zedong.
Emily Chang, a Beijing-based correspondent for the US television
network, said in a blog post on CNN.com that she hunted down
the shirt after hearing they had been banned amid fears they
"may offend the American president."
The shirt shows Obama, who is making his first visit to China
as president, in a Red Army uniform staring into the distance
in a pose made famous by the former Chinese leader.
The front of the shirt says "Serve the People" in
Chinese, Chang said. "Oba-Mao" is written on the back
in English.
Chang said she held the shirt up to the camera while filming
a story in a Shanghai market.
