Can a fictional novel mention China and Interpol?

Yes, it's generally legal. You see, when you mention an artist in a fictional novel, as long as it's within the context of the story and not for malicious or misappropriating purposes. For instance, if your story is set in the art world and characters are discussing famous artists, that's a legitimate use. But be careful not to overstep boundaries like using the artist's name to promote something without consent or defaming them.

Fantasy novels often involved myths and legends, magic, and fantasy elements. These elements had corresponding concepts and legends in the culture and history of many countries, such as China's Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and other thoughts and cultures, as well as the myths and religions of India, Greece, and other places. In these novels, many authors would use these cultural elements to create fictional worlds and characters. The fictional worlds often had their own historical and cultural backgrounds, including various myths and legends. Therefore, in fantasy novels, there would often be various cultural elements from different countries and regions, including Chinese cultural elements such as Huaxia, dragons, myths, etc. Although China occupied a very important position in many fantasy novels, it did not mean that all fantasy novels would involve Chinese elements. Many authors might just use the concept of Chinese elements, but it did not mean that all fantasy novels were related to China.
