'The Lenovo acquisition was the culmination of a grand strategy that encompassed many realms such as economics and finance as well as culture, politics, psychology, and national interest. This insightful book opens a window closed to us before. We can now see not only a landmark case of globalization but also gain an insider’s view of the business culture of China. It is a true portrait of international business as we will come to know it in the 21st century.'

'Finally, a book about doing business in China that is directly relevant to Westerners in the IT industry. The Lenovo Affair provides valuable insight into how China’s IT decision-makers and solution-providers view computing, dealing with 'outsiders',
And what constitutes as technical excellence.'
