Why not? China or the US, it doesn't matter to me. They're both far
away and have "interesting" culture ;)

Is there a Lenovo System i in our future? Makes you wonder....

Seriously doubt that. The x86 market is a commodity market. You'll
have to price your products to market, and don't have any exclusivity
factor. There's not that much money to be made. IBM already sold it's
PC devision, the x86 will probably follow, and the rest will be done
until they're no longer profitable. IBM is a service company now, not
a HW/SW company.

I've made good experiences with Lenovo so far. I don't think that this
is entirely bad.
