The causes are different though. What you've linked mentions it quite clearly the wealthy are emigrating to to weather any potential storms related to seizure of their assets. A lot of foreign students belong to this category as well, otherwise they would not be able to afford foreign tuition. This isn't your middle class emigrating abroad as has happened with Russia.
Oh really? China has a disastrous brain drain problem.
