Abstract
This paper uses Foucauldian-influenced discourse analysis to explore the governance of disability and gender in Chinese print media during the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympics. Drawing on 38 articles published in China Daily , a state-affiliated newspaper, this study examines the media representations of Paralympians and, more importantly, the ways in which gendered and disabled subject positions are constituted, negotiated, and regulated. The analysis illustrates how ableism and sexism persist in representations of Paralympians under the guise of neoliberal governance and heterosexual assumptions. In addition, Chinese para-athletes are particularly disciplined by normative, state-sanctioned gender ideals within a prevailing atmosphere of nationalism. Overall, this study offers a critique of discursive strategies of inclusionism in Chinese media practices at the intersection of gender and disability.

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 it
