Many foster children have had difficulty making the transition to independent living. Several are homeless, become single parents, commit crimes, or live in poverty. They are also frequent targets of crime.

China has legally purchased high performance computers, advanced machine tools, and semiconductor-manufacturing equipment from several American companies.
