Something I've wondered- why hasn't Lenovo received the same flack that DJI and Huawei received?
2 comments

It's because Lenovo don't dominate their market as much as DJI dominate the drone market or Huawei the telecom.
Lenovo does nothing more than assemblying, and their acts on PC can be easily identified.
No, assembling means more security risks, as it could temper more parts.

However, trump saying that Huawei could be part of the trade deal means banning Chinese companies has nothing to do with security. The US didn’t go after Lenovo simply because assembling isn’t a high value add process and doesn’t threat US tech leadership. Huawei got banned because its tech is too advanced.
