So as you can see, most Chinese, Japanese, or Korean elites would choose to go back to their own country to start their career after their studies or work internships in the US. Because their countries have powerful enterprises, why stay and work abroad?

The phenomenon that there are so many Indian CEOs in American firms is called (Human capital flight/Brain Drain), that’s what the Indians really should be concerned about more than showing off their “abroad CEOs”, because the American enterprises where these Indian elites work have nothing to do with India and the Indian economy.
