“The top U.S. diplomat in Hong Kong warned on Thursday of a ‘big struggle’ ahead to repair Washington’s trust in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory. Speaking publicly for the first time since Snowden flew from Hong Kong to Moscow on Sunday despite a U.S. request to hold him to face charges of espionage, Consul General Stephen Young told Reuters that Washington’s confidence was ‘shaken’. Young did not specify how any deterioration in ties would play out but added: ‘I’ll say specifically in law enforcement co-operation – where we have a whole series of agreements, and protocols and practices – our confidence has been shaken.'”
