I don't know what was altered, but the present US's position was cited. That was taken from the DoS's site. The document's date is after 2000.
Actually, the US's position on the issue is equal to the Russian one.
I see nothing to discuss in this Russian MFA's statement.
The persistant rumor in Okinawa (where I was stationed at the time) was that nuclear technology had been covertly transferred to Taiwan. I believe it probably happened.
