Is it wise for the State Dept. to buy PCs from China-based Lenovo?
A U.S. government agency is raising espionage concerns about a contract that has the State Department buying 15,000 PCs from Lenovo, which is owned in part by an arm of the government in Beijing.
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission says it fears the machines could be fitted with technology to spy on the U-S government.
Lenovo, which last year bought IBM's PC business, says it has nothing to hide and would welcome a probe.
