It gets pretty tiresome when people automatically take something as pro-US jingoism without stopping to think for a second about what they're saying. The model they're comparing to is Chinese, not American. How can you possibly construe OP's comment as pro-US?

EDIT: The comment below got flagged to death, so I'm going to link my evidence up here for visibility: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44238841

Not only does the top-level comment make no mention of the US, but their comment history is strongly suggestive that they themselves are European, not US-based.
