True. Some will go other places like you mention and some will remain in their home countries.
In any case, it's not just having talent go to developing countries that I see as a positive, but also seeing other countries' increasing tech scenes. I think having geographical diversification in the tech world is healthy. For starters, if one country ever elects a leader that wants to attack tech and automation as aggressively as the US leadership is attacking immigrants, then human technological progress will be less affected.
I doubt they're going back to China or India. Far more likely is that they're coming to Canada or going to Australia or Europe.
We have tons and tons of Chinese people coming to Canada to go to school. It's not a stretch to see them setting up shop here after they graduate. Wealthy Chinese families recognize how safe they are in the West. They don't mind paying high taxes to get away from the CCP.
