They did a much better job apologizing to China.

Had they not done that they might be believable, but because of the way the kowtow to china, definitely hard to find any honesty/truth in their statement.

I'm not even sure here what "reacted too quickly" means. If the player did clearly violate an unobjectionable Blizzard policy, one would hope that the sanction would be swift -- it shouldn't take a week to (for example) ban a player for blatant cheating.

Any apology would then upset their Chinese customers, like the NBA.

No explanation of how that happened. No discussion about what they are doing to make sure it doesn't happen again. It's not even saying, "We made a snap decision and it was wrong." It seems to be saying, "We made all the right decisions, but we're going to tune the degree a little."
