Not an academic source, but... my parents came to the U.S. for graduate school in the late 80's (physics + computer science) and decided to stay and develop their careers here. Literally every one of their classmates (my "aunties" and "uncles") stayed in the U.S.
When I was in grad school from 2005 to 2010, the Chinese grad students (e.g., from China as opposed to Chinese American) were quite diverse in where they were deciding to develop their careers. While some stayed in the U.S., many chose 1) going back to China, 2) academic and industry positions in other places in Asia (e.g., Singapore, Japan, Korea), 3) Canada, Europe, etc.
