Zhou was born in Tairi Township (now Jinhui Town), Fengxian County (now Fengxian District), Shanghai, in June 1962.[2] In 1980, he entered East China Institute of Textile Science and Technology (now Donghua University), majoring in chemical engineering automation and instruments.

After graduating in 1984, Zhou became a designer at the Shanghai Electrochemical Plant Design Office. Starting in August 1985, he served in several posts in Shanghai Chlor Alkali General Plant (later renamed Shanghai Chlor Alkali Chemical Co., Ltd.), including technician, deputy director of Instrument Workshop, assistant director of PVC Factory, deputy director of PVC Factory, assistant general manager, and general manager.

He was deputy secretary-general of Shanghai Municipal People's Government in March 2007, in addition to serving as director of Shanghai Development and Reform Commission since February 2008. On 21 December 2015, he was given a serious warning within the Party because he accepted a banquet with public funds in violation of the rules and regulations.[3] In December 2016, he was chosen as director of the Administrative Committee of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free-Trade Zone and was admitted to member of the Standing Committee of the CCP Shanghai Municipal Committee, the city's top authority.[4]
