This article is certainly low quality, it rehashes existing media stereotypes (something bad happened, and naughty China is behind it) instead of making things clear. Obvious questions (What game or other software bundled the driver? Was it made by the same company that signed the code? What runs on the servers from the redirected addresses list?) are not even mentioned. If the narrative is that Chinese hackers tricked the impregnable systems of Microsoft, then it falls apart after learning, say, how many times official drivers from Intel and the likes were found to have privilege escalation functionality. Also, we are supposed to be happy when it's official western corporate rootkits that collect all system information they want, and share it with who knows which organizations, or when Microsoft itself does it.
