Does someone happen to know how is its name in Chinese?
"The Chinese government took the position that the All-Patriotic Society was an extremist religious cult engaged in "domestic terrrorism" and responded accordingly. Naturally, international human rights groups took a very dim view of China's zero-tolerance policy." (by Lisa See)

For your information the All-China in All-China Women\'s Federation is \'quan guo\'= the whole nation or country, nationwide, countrywide, throughout the country, but I don\'t think \'all\'is necessarily being used in this sense. To me it suggest a federation or front of different groups, but honestly, I don\'t know. Perhaps some of the patriotic groups around the time of Sun Yat Sen had names like this...?

As for the All-China Women\'s Federation etc. It is one of the mass organisations in the present Communist era. It is a different usage and context from yours I think... Here are other examples (from the 1950/60s): First All-China Congress of the Soviets, All-China Federation of Cooperatives, All-China Federation of Democratic Women, All-China Federation of Democratic Youth, All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce,All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles,All-China Federation of Trade Unions, All-China Students Federation. FYI all-China = zhonghua quanguo, \'zhonghua\' = Chinese including the non-Han nationalities, and \'quanguo\' = nationwide

Explanation:
I guess there is no such an organisation called All-Patriotic Society. It was created by Lisa See, even the name (Liu Hulan) of her leading character is made on purpose, as every Chinese knows who Liu Hulan was.

I suggest to call it 全爱会

agree  chica nueva: 'quan'ai hui' would be 'universal love society/association'- seems OK. It seems Maria's question was a kind of Chinese-English one...BTW who is Liu Hulan? also, where is the patriotic part = 爱国 (aiguo)?

agree  chica nueva: Mark, sounds good. In English 'bo'ai' = universal fraternity (or brotherhood); universal love as in 'liberty, equality, fraternity' but (Zhonghua Huijiao )bo'ai = (Chinese Islamic) Fraternity - can this be right?
