US group wants China 'spy' probe

Lenovo is to supply 15,000 PCs to the state department

A US agency is calling for an official probe into Chinese computer firm Lenovo's contract to supply 15,000 computers to the US State Department.

The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) said it feared the PCs could be fitted with bugging devices to spy on the US government.

Lenovo, which last year bought IBM's PC arm, said it had nothing to hide and would welcome the investigation.

Concern has been rising in the US over foreign companies buying US firms.
