If you are going to be in Hong Kong on the way to the mainland, you can swing by the "cat's market" in Hong Kong. I think the street it is on is called Upper Lascow Row.
There is all kinds of Mao stuff, and some Soviet militaria as well. When I was there about a year ago, there was some interesting stuff. I didn't really know anything about Soviet militaria at the time, but I did pick up an old Chinese pistol belt w/ammo pouchs and a holster for like $20-30.
Something interesting to do if you are in Hong Kong--that and drinking Tsingtao.
