| 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. |
