Just because the government in china tries to get its citizenry to act as a whole doesn't mean they still don't have individual levels of responsibility. Shen in particular because his silence on that podcast is a tacit admission that he knows these systems are going to allow the chinese government even more control over the speech of their citizens. "All it takes for evil to triumph..." and all that.

I don't know what I would do were I in Shen's shoes (I may be even less prone to action than him) but that has no bearing on what his inaction is. It's cowardice. It's not even like he's some chinese everyman, he's rich enough he could get asylum.
