I know this may sound naive but with how strict China is, I feel like I have to ask.

Traitors! The Chinese Communist Party says China is the best, has most money in the world, the best economy in the world, the best in the world, what for go to another country? The CCP never wrong!

Yes they are allowed to leave. I know several Chinese citizens in America at this current time.. Not to mention those who work at the Consulates and Embassy. I know that there is a time restriction on how long that they are allowed to stay.

Millions of Chinese travel overseas annually for business and leisure. Several hundred thousand Chinese study in foreign universities. Many Chinese temporarily or permanently move to other countries for educational or professional reasons. Many of those people eventually return to China, but some immigrate overseas. China has no rules restricting the travel of its citizens. They are free to go wherever they wish at any time. I live in a middle class section of Shanghai and my neighbors are often traveling overseas. Japan and Europe seem to be the most popular destinations. One of my neighbors is taking his wife and teenage son on a tour of America during the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday. I also have a neighbor whose son is studying in Sydney, Australia. International travel and migration are routine for Chinese, just as they are for people in most countries. I am one of many westerners who have migrated to China for better economic opportunities. I started doing business with China in the mid-1990s and moved here in 2004. The number of long-term foreign residents in China is growing as the economy here continues to power ahead. China is surpassing Japan to be the world's 2nd largest economy this year. Many people from western countries have negative misconceptions about China. I don't know where you got the idea that China is "strict" or what you imagine that to mean. When I think of the word "strict" I visualize a grandmother jealously guarding a a bowl of cookies.

How do you explain Chinatowns all over the world if the Chinese weren't allowed to leave the country? (Sorry, it just seemed really obvious to me.)

Not all PRC citizens are allowed to leave. There is a list of permitted countries . This is why PRC Nationals still pay a lot of money to snakeheads to transport them illegally to many countries. If The PRC was so great, why do these people take such risks to get to the West and work in sweat shops, prostitution e.t.c.

Your idea of how strict China is, is a naive idea. Chinese have the freedom to leave the country whenever they want. The problem is that most developed countries have discrimination toward Chinese to a certain degree, so most Chinese have difficulty getting a visa. That's why there's so many illegal Chinese immigrants in North America and Europe, because they can't get a visa.
