In March of 2019, Beijing Kunlun was forced to sell Grindr by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). CFIUS viewed Beijing Kunlun's ownership of Grindr as a national security threat as Grindr has sensitive personal info such as location, messages and even HIV status which could be accessed by engineers in the Kunlun office in Beijing. Grindr was sold a year later on March 2020 to San Vincente Acquisition LLC for $608 million dollars.

In March 2007 he stopped working for Renren when he became the general manager of Beijing JiNaiTe Technology Co., Ltd. Zhou worked for JiNaiTe Tech for one year until he founded his own company, Kunlun Tech Co., Ltd.
Zhou's career started in 1999 when he started a website called "Vulcan Net" funded by Tsinghua University.
