IBM Lenovo deal faces US security probe BLOOMBERG claimed that a number of US federal bodies may halt the proposed sale of IBM's PC business to Chinese firm Lenovo, citing fears of espionage. According to the wire, the Committee on Foreign Investment as well as the Department of Homeland Security are worried that China may plant spies at IBM sites in the US for the purpose of furthering its military technology. The Chinese government has a majority share in Lenovo, formerly known as Legend. The influential committee has the ability to veto the deal and could launch an investigation into the implications of such a deal. -- Hold it right there, buddy.
