Couldn't it be that the perception of China being ahead of India socially/economically is why you don't see as many Chinese nationals in corporate roles in the US?

I've talked to a number of Indian workers in IT here in Japan who've said that they'd do "anything" not to have to go back to their family homes. But Chinese IT workers I know don't seem to mind the idea; in fact, they usually go back a couple of times a year.

If you replace "Chinese nationals" with a first-world European country, does it sound disturbing? e.g.: "the low number of German nationals in corporate roles in the u.s." It doesn't to me.
