international relations - Kerry ad annoys Kerry supporters in China

I could not see it myself, but fellow blogger Peking Duck sounds pretty pissed off when he describes a commercial supporting Democratic candidate John Kerry for the elections.
Peking Duck: "The ad begins by showing a group of factories that resemble what you'd find in America's Rust Belt. The announcer says something along the lines of, "During his administration, President Bush created more than 3 million new jobs." There's a brief pause, and the announcer continues, "In China." With that, the camera pans upward and pulls back to reveal huge signs over the factories, all in Chinese characters. The rest of the ad warns of the horrors of outsourcing and how Kerry will fight for US workers, whereas Bush caved in to big industry."
I find the US elections anyway pretty weird, where people end up have to choose between two candidates they both dislike. You can react here.
