Facing structural overcapacity and intense but unfair domestic competition from firms that often are kept from bankruptcy by officialdom, it is no wonder many leading firms are seeking their fortune abroad. But, expanding out of weakness not strength, the danger is they will buy bad assets. TCL, for example, ended up taking a loss-making business with a dog-eared brand (RCA) off Thomson's hands. The same could be true of Lenovo.
面对结构性生产过剩和国内企业以官僚主义得以摆脱破产而带来的激烈且不公平的竞争，也就难怪许多领头羊企业寻求机会向海外发展。但是，出于疲软而不是强势而进行的扩张，面临的危险就是他们将会买入不良资产。例如TCL，就是将一桩亏损的生意终结于把过了时的品牌RCA从Thomson剥离出来。对联想来说可能也是这样。
