Ran'isha

A political association with a special mission character in China during the Republic of China era. Its official name was the Chinese National Restoration Society, or the Revival Society for short. It was called the Blue Clothing Society because its uniform consisted of blue jackets and yellow trousers. It was a nationalistic association formed within the Kuomintang in 1932 after the Manchurian Incident, under the banner of national revival, in order to oppress the anti-Chiang Kai-shek democratic movement. Its core organization was the Lixing Society, and under it was a special mission office presided over by Dai Li, which was feared for carrying out white terror against Chinese Communist Party members, democratic factions, and anti-Chiang factions. It was one of the pillars of Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship. It was dissolved in January 1938, and many of its members joined the Three Principles of the People Youth League, and the special mission organization was reorganized as the Military Command Bureau. It also engaged in anti-Japanese terrorism in areas occupied by the Japanese military, especially in large cities.

中国、中華民国時代の特務的性格をもった政治結社。正式名称は中華民族復興社、略して復興社ともいう。藍(あい)色の上着と黄色のズボンを制服としたので藍衣社と称された。満州事変後の1932年、反蒋介石(しょうかいせき)民主運動を弾圧するため、民族復興を掲げて国民党内に結成された国家主義的結社で、中核組織を力行社といい、その下に戴笠(たいりゅう)が主宰した特務処を置いて、中国共産党員や民主派、反蒋派に白色テロを行って恐れられた。蒋介石の独裁の一つの支柱であった。38年1月に解散し、社員の多くは三民主義青年団に加入、特務組織は軍統局に改編された。日本軍占領地、とくに大都市での抗日テロにも従事した。
