I believe the Chinese buy these types of imported goods (if not all imported goods in general) because of a perception that they are of a certain level of quality. The "disruption" would not be copying an innovation so much as building branding of a Chinese alternative. For most cases, it would involve changing the widely held belief that Chinese products are inferior.

That kind of brings that Chinese caviar company to mind. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-19/the-world...
