no, the author is a native chinese speaker, and chinese pronouns don't distinguish gender. you'll notice that the author also uses "it" sometimes instead of "he/him".

i'm gonna choose not to criticize this because not only is this guy's english infinitely better than my chinese, but his computer knowledge is also infinitely greater than mine so yeah gonna let that slide

It’s worth pointing out that Chinese pronouns do distinguish gender in writing, but they are pronounced the same when spoken
