According to the Central News Agency, according to the investigation by the Los Angeles office, Zhou Wenwei was born in Taiwan in 1953, and was mistaken by the US for being born in "China" with historical origins. 

About 50 years ago, Taiwanese held the birthplace on their passports, which was Repubilc of China in English. At that time, immigrants who applied to the United States often wrote "China" as their birthplace in official documents. Zhou suspects that he may have written "China" as his place of birth on the document applying for a US passport, and let the US identify it.
