A lot of the Chinatowns died out becuase of urban renewal. Detroit had a decent Chinatown on the western fringes of downtown and it was completely bulldozed in the 1960's as "slum clearance." It was relocated a mile north, in the middle of the city's skid row, and was dead by 1990 or so, as non-poor fled for the suburbs and the elderly died off.
There are still a few traces if you know where to look, but no remaining visible businesses.
