I would only include people who are still alive today, born in one country and immigrated to another. It terms of Total numbers I am quite sure it would be India, China or maybe Mexico.
In portion to a countries current population, many people might to surprised to know that about 20% of all living New Zealand Citizens do not live in New Zealand. I might not be the absolute highest, but it certainly is very high. Here is a recent Article on the Problem.
Greece has a population of 11 million...about 6-7 mill of Greek descent live abroad...that's immigrants and a few generations..still a staggering number for such a small country...3 mill in USA alone.

3 mill in USA alone.
Jennifer Aniston and Tina Fey are included in those 3 mill, how many generations does America go back to label one as .......-American?
Dutch ancestry:
South Africa 7,000,000
United States 5,087,19
Brazil 4,434,021
France 1,456,937
Canada 1,000,000
Armenians, Serbians, Bosnians, Albanians all have high percentages(if not more) living abroad.
Samoans have more living abroad as well. Maybe Hmongs from SE Asia also. Lebanese have a huge diaspora throughout the world.
Salvadorans might have one of the highest percentages for a Latin American nation. They only have about 6 million people in El Salvador but about 2 million Salvadorans live in the USA.

I'm not sure if I understand the question of how many generations does America go back to label one as .......-American? however, as ambiguous as it may sound (second generation immigrant?) Jennifer Anniston currently would be considered a second generation American.
Although I hope this is helpful, I don't know that it really is.
Best regards, sincerely

In the United States
The term second-generation immigrant has attracted criticism due to a perceived self-contradiction. Namely, critics say, a "second-generation immigrant" is not an immigrant, as being "second-generation" implies that the person's parents are the immigrants in question.
Second generation immigrant: U.S.-born children of at least one foreign-born parent.
Jennifer Aniston was born on February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, to actors John Aniston
and Nancy Dow. Her father is Greek and a native of Crete, while her mother was born in New York City.
One of her maternal great-grandfathers was an Italian immigrant, and her mother's other ancestry is
Scottish, Irish, and a small amount of Greek.

Most of these people are no longer Chinese by nationality so it doesn't count.
