Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article studies Asian actors from North America and their response to the recent repatriation of overseas Chinese in post-1997 Hong Kong. The focus is on the casting, characterization and shifting star persona of the Asian American action star Daniel Wu. Although Wu is an American of mainland Chinese descent, he was initially marketed as an overseas Chinese actor and return migrant to Hong Kong.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
