security implications of a wide range of foreign acquisitions of, and investment
in, U.S. businesses.
In 1975, Gerald Ford established CFIUS by Executive Order 11858. The
committee gained additional authority after Ronald Reagan delegated
Presidential oversight to CFIUS by his Executive Order 12661 in 1988. In
particular, CFIUS was directed to: (a) arrange for the preparation of analyses of
trends and significant developments in foreign investments in the United States;
(b) provide guidance on arrangements with foreign governments for advance
consultations on prospective major foreign governmental investments in the
United States; (c) review investments in the United States which, in the judgment
of the Committee, might have major implications for United States national
interests; and (d) consider proposals for new legislation or regulations relating to
foreign investment as may appear necessary.
The members of CFIUS include the heads of the following departments and
offices:
1. Department of the Treasury (chair)
2. Department of Justice
3. Department of Homeland Security
4. Department of Commerce
5. Department of Defense

| Abstract | This paper discusses Lenovo’s acquisition of IBM’s personal computer division in 2005 as a case in point to explore issues involved in China’ investment in the United States, particularly its public relations implications. It is demonstrated that media coverage underscored the complications and tensions in these supposedly free market activities. This paper presents the manifestation of controversial issues such as state-ownership of businesses, national security, and economic protectionism, as Chinese enterprises invest in the United States through mergers and acquisitions. It provides an account of Lenovo’s communication strategies and gives suggestions to better manage corporate reputation and brand images for Chinese companies that are seeking overseas investment. |
