US plays down change as China angered by Taiwan 'fact sheet'

The United States insists that nothing has changed in its stance toward Taiwan after Beijing was angered by an updated fact sheet that used less explicit language to reject the island's independence. "There's been no change in our policy. All we have done is update a fact sheet, and that's something that we routinely do with our relationships around the world," State Department spokesman Ned Price tells reporters.
