China reacts differently than the US. If you publicly bad mouth the Chinese government there are consequences. Contrast this to a public showing of anger against the NSA which is beneficial to the company and to the NSA. The NSA wants users to feel secure and not take other measures. Shareholders can sue for anything (everything is securities fraud), the act of exposing client details to the NSA without telling shareholders is no less problematic than continuing to lie to shareholders about dealings with the NSA.
