Even if we consider China an enemy, that's not "standing up for an enemy," that's telling China that one of their universities is being spied on. Not a big surprise, and little damage done. And I very much doubt that was done to aid our "enemy," but to help galvanize Snowden's status in the eyes of the Chinese people, which would in turn weigh on the government's decision whether or not to cooperate with the USA's extradition request. And it worked.
