I think you mean 'a subsidiary of the Chinese government', which is undoubtedly true. No one in the US is 'letting' Lenovo get away with anything - they're a Chinese company and the manufacturing facilities are completely out of US control.
The US is not the only, or even the worst, offender when it comes to tracking indiscriminately. China and several Asian countries are quite open about their determination to track all the things and are much farther ahead then the US. Russia doesn't have a strong legal concept of privacy rights and certainly not a cultural one. The UK and Germany are very open about their extensive tracking programs too.
If you're going to be outraged, get outraged at a reasonable culprit (Chinese government, going by your business=government logic), not just the popular target.
