Further, it examines how state institutions, legal reforms, and cinematic representations contribute to the formation of Chinese disability citizenship, an ambiguous status that both includes and marginalizes other disabled individuals and communities.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through a transnational cultural epistemology, the study interrogates how Kafer\u2019s political\/relational model of disability contributes to the critiques of the universalizing tendencies of Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) global disability rights frameworks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Clayton Lo Source: Including Disability Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/ojs.scholarsportal.info\/ontariotechu\/index.php\/id\/article\/view\/385\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/ojs.scholarsportal.info\/ontariotechu\/index.php\/id\/article\/view\/385<\/a> Abstract This paper offers a comparative cultural and political analysis of disability terminology and the cultural narrative of citizenship across the Sinophone world, with a focus on mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
