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.”

You know what? I like the shirt. It’s my American right to collect leftist kitsch; I’ll assume that was Chang’s interest as well.
