Made in The China

Amidst the frenzy that can be Christmas shopping, my most favorite identifier of a Chinese product was the following: "Made in The China."

As frustrated as I was with this whole boycott, it even managed to make me laugh...is there more than one China? Was the product meant to be made in The United States? Was it just a typo? Are there any other countries which put the word "The" before the country of origin? I mean, we don't say, "Made in The Japan" or "Made in the Malaysia".

Maybe it's just me, I haven't found much to laugh at with regards to this boycott.
