I didn’t get the same “wholesome CIA” vibe - definitely some sketchy bias around the Chinese govt, calling counterespionage arrests “kidnapping” is pretty rich when talking about a conflict with the government running the world’s largest prison system - but I felt like most of the critique was towards the CIA for hubris, and the OPM for collecting and then losing piles of sensitive data.
