I read a book where it said that Jesus was a Chinese born Jew.
What do you know about this?

I wish I knew what book you read. I read a book written by a guy that did extensive research into the topic and lived during the time of Jesus. He even spoke to people that were with Jesus at the time. His name is Luke and he records Jesus birth in chapter 2. There is also a good amount of information about Jesus birth from sources other than Scripture. He was born in Bethlehem!

According to people who WERE ACTUALLY LIVING AT THE TIME:
Luk 2:1 ¶ And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
Luk 2:2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Luk 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Luk 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
Luk 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Luk 2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Luk 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
So, WHILE THEY WERE THERE, in BETHLEHEM the CITY OF DAVID, Jesus was born.

It is false. Jesus rarely spent his life outside of Israel, and when he did a few times it was never too far away from Israel. He was born the son of a carpenter and a young woman in Bethlehem, which was in Israel. Jesus was born a Jewish Israelite.
Still, that is interesting that there is a book with such a statement. xD

He was born in Bethlehem. Why do people insist on making fun of Jesus. No one is bothering you. Jesus is not a joke. He is real, He died for our sins so that we might be saved.

No. There is no reason whatsoever to assume that Jesus was born anywhere other than Bethlehem, and there is no reason to assume that he ever left Roman Palestine.

If you read the bible, it will tell you in the books Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

Chinese-born Jew?
That's a new one.

if he did exist then he was middle eastern and it is highly unlikely that a family back then would make that kind of journey and he was a Jew so I'm thinkin he wasn't Chinese

No, he was not a Chinese Jew.
He was born in Judea (modern day Israel).
