Lenovo, why is it so expensive in China and so cheap in the US?

Through a friend in the US, I purchased the latest T61 model. After the discount and including tax, the total price was less than $1000. When I saw that the T60 was still being sold for over ten thousand yuan domestically, I secretly felt glad that I hadn't bought one in China. Unexpectedly, now the T61 has been launched in the domestic market, but the price is so much higher compared to the local prices in the US. Although I managed to buy a computer at a relatively moderate price through my friend in the US, I still want to ask Lenovo: why is it so expensive when selling to our own people, but so cheap when selling to Americans? What are the reasons for Lenovo's high pricing?
