Some people like to travel. It is probably the same percent for all countries, but there are so many more Chinese that you notice them.

Well, it is growing economically speaking. However working conditions and pay is still at very low standards. Meaning that; even though China is becoming better, it still has a ways to go. So migration away from China would still be a benefit to many people.

if you look at china's past, from the qing dynasty to the cultural revolution, its a political & economic reasons.
the chinese vs manchurians (qing dynasty)...many chinese are dissatisfied with the then corrupted dynasty. and it didn't help when the western world are meddling into the affairs of the decaying government. there isn't any food or work in china itself... the oppressed chinese commoners often find themselves victims of the continuous (big & small) revolts in china.
furthermore, the revolts against the qing dynasty, the warlords squabbles, the cultural revolution, communism & many other factors contribute to the migration & disappointments towards their own motherland.
so they travelled to london, new york, thailand, singapore, malaysia, indonesia, borneo, hong kong to look for jobs to feed their extended families back in china.
the travelling itself wasn't easy. many died on the way. all chinese who took jobs in the western/ muslim countries were not having it easy. they irked out a living anyway, by working as 'coolies' (laborers), not understanding the foreign tongue.
cent by cent they save, to send money back to china for their old parents & relatives.
*****
today, the chinese immigrants are usually for education & more liberated lifestyle...
for example,
hong kongers migrate because the standard of living is so high.
taiwanese migrate because their politics are so unstable (some say crazy).
malaysian chinese migrate to new zealand & australia because of higher exchange rate ($)...
singaporeans migrate to australia because a*n*a*l sex is legal over there, homosexual or hetrosexual.... *lol* (don't get me started on this archaic law....)

i don't know if you've noticed but they do have the largest population in the world, that would explain the immigration. as for why they don't assimilate, a lot of ethnic groups don't, you can find a "little italy" or other small parts of cities where only a certain group lives.
