Lenovo company , in January purchase server division of IBM for $ 2.3 billion, which faced scrutiny from the Committee on Foreign Investment U.S. (CFIUS). As IBM servers delivers U.S. law enforcement agencies - the Pentagon and the FBI - Lenovo, as the successor to the business must prove security equipment from Chinese spies.
