The US says it is "disappointed" over China's failure to hand over fugitive intelligence analyst Edward Snowden.


After talks with senior Chinese officials, US Deputy Secretary of State Edward Burns said Beijing's actions undermined "trust" in bilateral ties.


Chinese state councillor Yang Jiechi said Hong Kong - which allowed to leave Mr Snowden to Russia - had acted in accordance with the territory's law.


The row over Mr Snowden has strained relations between the US and China.


Washington wants to prosecute the former CIA contractor over the leaking of thousands of classified US intelligence documents.


Mr Snowden is believed to be currently staying at a Moscow airport.


He has sent requests for political asylum to at least 21 countries, most of which have turned down his request.


However, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela have indicated they could take him in.
