Portrait at a Forbidden City gate (3)

I believe the answer is:

mao

'portrait at a forbidden city gate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mao that I've seen before include "Chinese statesman" , "Red" , "Old Chinese "Chairman"" , "Former Chinese Chairman" , "The familiar Tse-Tung" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
