It's probably wrong to accuse the Chinese. Most I know actually want to stay, but it's very hard for them to. For that reason, many Chinese choose to go to US/Canada despite being much more expensive (ironic right) The reasons I've seen are that European companies tend to hire local people; student visa don't come with work authorization post-graduation (the 1-year OPT in the U.S. can immensely help when seeking job - for the company, they can essentially bring you in without any extra cost, and when the year is up, either you've proven your value so they can justify a costly work visa, or they can just let you go); cultural barrier is higher in a homogeneous country; etc.

To quote myself: "That's true. And I guess half of them wished they could stay. When people abuse the system, it always destroys the dream of some others. No offences to Chinese people either, their high population just makes them more "visible" when it comes to that kind of problem. As far as I remember in France if you do a 2 years master's degrees, you have a VISA for 1 year to search for a job. One can even search for part-time jobs during his studies. If you succeed, after 2 years more, you can ask for the French citizenship. But, sadly, it collides with the Chinese policy that rejects double nationalities."
