Headline is a bit misleading. I thought this was going to be about disruption but it's actually about a Chinese startup firing western teachers who talk about topics considered "politically-sensitive" in China.
I wouldn’t call if misleading, but certainly it’s one of those topics with double meanings. It could be phrased less equivocally, I agree, but at the same time it’s not misleading.
You can think of it as headline writing "with Chinese characteristics" :)
I assumed the same, that is a pretty common headline used to mean something else.
