"Why would a Chinese tech company buy a $16 million Morgan Hill golf course?"

Donato-Weinstein writes about Sumavision Technologies of Beijing buying the Jack Nicklaus designed Coyote Creek Golf Club for $16 million and notes that it should be added to the list of Chinese investment in American golf course real estate.
