He's not supporting his point by invoking his time in China. He's directly using it to deflate the other comment which _did_ use it as support for their claim.
It's appealing to an authority to say (or, to demonstrate from experience) that it is false authority.
As someone who lived in China for 9 years, these kinds of arguments are always really vacuous. Perhaps just say Ant isn't like Amway and has a low fraud rate (for China, anyways), which is probably enough to deflect the pyramid scheme argument without resorting to an authority fallacy.
