The article is very sensationalist and written by someone who has a book to sell. Thats half of it. As regards the EP3 incident, the govt investigation showed that the crew took (mostly) the correct steps to destroy materials. They were not, contra the article, casually flying over with an address book of every US asset in China. For one, why would they (need to know, and all that). I think the article is trying to take an event that happened and juice it into something they want to sell a book on. The Intercept has the EP3 report and there is a wikipedia page about it, for what that is worth. As regards the article's claims that two highly colorful characters, who were brothers, bounced around between FBI and CIA, were allowed to work in the same country, both at elevated clearance levels, I'll reserve judgment but it seems a little too juicy to be quite true. I guess we'll find out in 20 years.
