Emirati Jiu-Jitsu stars win 23 medals, athletes grab 11 medals, and People of Determination excel with 14 medals
The 21-year-old Belarusian power-hitter proved she was back in top form and well past her slump as she dismissed Barty 7-5, 6-4 in 103 minutes.
She fired 24 winners and saved four of the five break points she faced against Barty, who needed treatment for a left calf injury halfway through the second set.
It was her 11th consecutive win in Wuhan and takes her career record in China to 28-6.
"It means a lot for me," said the ninth-seeded Sabalenka, who awaits either Petra Kvitova or American Alison Riske in the final.
"It feels even better than last year... This year it was a really tough season for me. To get back on that level, it feels much more enjoyable."
Looking to become the first player to successfully defend the Wuhan title - and to be the second two-time champion alongside Kvitova - Sabalenka vows to battle until the last ball.
"I'll be there for the fight. Doesn't matter who is going to be there in the final," she said.
Barty said she was not concerned about her calf injury, but conceded she would need to be vigilant during the tricky final stretch of the season.
It's important at this time of the year to listen to your body," said the 23-year-old Aussie. "There were certain things I wasn't able to do.
Barty explained that she felt the injury early in the first set and that it "progressively got worse" as the match went on.
"I'm sure it's nothing that is too alarming," she added.
