How it works
The structure '无不' (wúbù) is a double negative used to express a strong affirmative meaning, equivalent to 'all,' 'without exception,' or 'completely.' It is typically used in formal or written contexts to emphasize that a certain state or action applies to everything or everyone within a given range.
Examples

Zhè xiàng xīn zhèngcè de shíshī, wúbù tǐxiànle zhèngfǔ duì jiàoyù de zhòngshì.

Common mistakes
Do not follow '无不' with another negative word (like '不' or '没'), as the double negative '无不' already creates an affirmative meaning.
Tip
Think of '无不' as a more formal, high-level replacement for '都' (dōu). It is most effective when describing reactions, emotions, or widespread impacts.
