The Society for Restoring Benevolence (Xiaodongese: 仁者再生会; Rénzhě zàishēng huì) is a political party in Shangea. Since its creation in 2007 it has been the ruling party of Shangea being supportive of State Chairman Yuan Xiannian and his agenda.

The Society for Restoring Benevolence is the latest in a line of ruling parties in Xiaodong that have held power since 1940 starting with the Xiaodong Regeneration Society that are often referred to as the "party of power". The Society itself was created in March 2007 as a merger of the Constitutional Protection Society and the National Association for Progress. It sought to promote the values of National Principlism and the "Corrective Revolutionary spirit".

The party has ruled Shangea as a dominant-party state since its foundation in 2007, winning a legislative supermajority at the 2009 election and a simple majority at the 2014 election. The Society suffered a decline in support as a result of the 2016-17 Shangean Protests. The 10th January snap elections in 2017 saw the Society and affiliated parties win an overwhelming majority in the Legislative Council in a result that was largely seen as rigged. The continuing protests and harsh suppression of them with the advent of the Normalisation process saw the party cement itself as the central organ of the Shangean state, a position it has continued to hold throughout the Yuan government.

The Society states that it is a big tent party welcome to anyone who supports National Principlism, anti-imperialism and economic reformism. However most observers state that the party has no real policies other then support for Yuan Xiannian and as such adopts similar policies to him such as promotion of nationalism and economic centralisation. Many observers consider the Society to be relatively weak as a governing institution being almost entirely tied to the popularity and power of Yuan rather then possessing deep societal roots.
