U.S. Approves IBM/Lenovo Sale

Posted by timothy on from the nipple-mouse-now-unamerican dept.

MartinB writes with the "Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) review result: unanimous approval for the sale to go ahead, with no further external approvals needed. No compromises were required over the location of Lenovo facilities in sensitive research areas, nor were limits put on Lenovo's ability to sell PCs to U.S. agencies."

      Given that when you show Chinese entrepenuers how to build anything, they'll immediately transfer that knowledge to their brother-in-law down the street to make cheap cloned products, I'd say the sale is pretty much permanent! Anybody want to start a pool on how soon bootleg thinkpads hit the market?

    All this deal does is put money in the fatcat's pockets. It has nothing to do with sound business decisions. Karl Rove probably penned the deal.
