That's what classifying documents is for - to keep them secret. He didn't get in trouble for "denouncing the government", he got in trouble for publishing classified documents.

I agree with what Snowden did, and respect him for having the courage to do so, but I'm not sure if you're trying to demonise the US government or legitimise the Chinese one by claiming the prosecuting someone for publishing classified documents is equivalent to prosecuting someone for disagreeing with the ruling party.

How convinient. If I had broken the law I would also clasify all documents which could prove it.

If you sign an NDA with a company then violate that NDA by whistleblowing, you are protected under US law. Snowden has no such protection.
