Young Chinese Americans are opting to move to big cities, like other young Americans. Chinese are still immigrating to the USA at a similar rate to the last, but are almost all settling in big cities as well. The amount of Chinese coming to study in the USA has exploded in recent years, but those who have stayed have remained relatively the same. Suffice it to say, china’s net emigration rate has been constant over the last few years.

The last big immigration of Asians into the rural south happened to be via Vietnam refugees (many ethnic Chinese).
