During the course of a recent interview with French magazine Les Echos, Chinese device-maker Lenovo's CEO Yang Yuanqing revived the speculations about his company's possible acquisition of Canada-based smartphone giant BlackBerry.

According to a Bloomberg report, Yuanqing told Les Echoes that the BlackBerry takeover by Lenovo "could make sense;" and added alongside that he would first have to analyse the market so as to ascertain the precise importance and "weight" of BlackBerry as a company.

Yuanqing's disclosure to Les Echoes about Lenovo's speculated plans to take over BlackBerry mark the second instance when the BlackBerry-acquisition idea has been floated by the Chinese firm. The point was first raised by Lenovo's Chief Financial Officer Wong Wai Ming in February.

Meanwhile, other than reviving the speculations about Lenovo's BlackBerry takeover, Yuanqing also talked to Les Echoes about his company's strong position in the PC market, as well as its ambitions for increasing its market share in both smartphone and tablet arena.

Noting that Lenovo has started expanding in emerging countries like Indonesia, Vietnam or Russia, and will soon set out to conquer the developed countries, Yuanqing told Les Echoes: "Being the number one PC manufacturer represents a leadership performance, but we can't be complacent. These are solid foundations, which should enable us to aim higher."
