By your logic a World of Warcraft reference is also nationalistic. Western engineers can make the most convoluted cultural references possible with no criticism but something as innocuous as naming a processor after a fictional metal attracts accusationa of nationalism.

I must apologize if I made you feel like it is a criticism. I think national/cultural pride is a pretty positive thing, at least in China.

Americans have their fair share of nationalistic names.

The original Xbox was codenamed Midway for obvious reasons. :^)
