That doesn’t make sense. Face it, Vale only alludes to China in your mind because you want it to. It doesn’t actually share anything in particular with China. The ‘Root’ you are refering to is something that is found in countries all over the globe, often with the exact elements. By that logic, Vale alludes to the USA and nearly all of Europe as well!

As for Vale’s naval tradition, your argument come’s down to ‘its geography kinda looks like other countries with naval traditions’. That’s really bad logic. Likewise, the argument of unity doesn’t make sense either. Its true China had a role in both the war and the formation of the United Nations...But so did Russia, the UK, France and the USA. By your own logic, Vale therefore also alludes to all these countries.

Being ‘shrouded in mystery’ isn’t a good argument either. Vale was never mentioned to be some sort of secret state. It was just developed less then the other kingdoms, as it was meant to be easily able to connect to the general audience. Saying ‘We don’t know much about Vale, so therefore it alludes to China!’ can be made with every coubtry. You can say Vale alludes to Korea, South Africa, Belgium and Pakistan or any other country by that logic.

Honestly, Atlas is closer to modern China now that I think it about it. An economic and militaristic super power that keeps a tight leash on its citizens, spies on them, is very developed in terms of technology, supported imperialism in the past and still treats some cities in its territory like shit.

Face it: Vale just doesn’t have anything special in common with China. And what it does have in common with China, it also has in common with many other countries.

Vale is a blank kingdom,so you can put whatever you want inside,but for naval hertiage,the name of the combat academies of Vale has shown:Beacon,used as naval navigation,Pharos,a massive beacon,Signal,also used as marking positions and navigating.All these name are related to.navigation,which a nation with naval hertiage pay tons attention to.Besides,position of Beacon is a good positon to build a beacon.In conclusion,Vale ca be whatever you want,a good mews for fanfiction writiers.I personally think Vale alludes China because only Vale can balance Atlas.

Atlas is much close to USA rather than China.China isn't a superpower and it is less milistic than USA-Look at all these wars USA waged-Spain,WWI,WWII,Vietnam,Latin America,Iraq,Yugoslava.USA also has a huge military expense(three times of that of China when USA has only 0.3 bilion population).Atlas,too,maintains an extremely powerful army.From WoR we can know that even back to Mantle period,Mantle turned Vacuo to its semi-colony and caused ecological catastrope in Vacuo,much simliar to what USA have done to Iraq and tried to do to Vietnam.USA is overwhelmingly developed in techology China(Internet was invented by ARPA backed by US Army and is the predecessor of DARPA,which was set up to keep USA's overwhelming advantage since USSR was shattered by USA),but still framed Alstom of France and spying on other nation via the PRISM.SDC of Atlas also has these questionable actions.For other Kingdoms,Atlas even controled their communication,which left people wondering if Atlas has a PRISM.

Cease the Chinese threat theory,it is USA that is truly the threat.
