I am not sure if by default they have Chinese language asylums forms around - Chinese refugees would be a rather rare thing I guess, considering how far away China is.
From what I read on other news articles, someone - who probably just wanted to be helpful - assumed he was an asylum seeker and lead him to a non-official asylum help center, where he filled out what he thought was a form for his stolen wallet, but was an refugee asylum application.
There he was put on a bus with real refugees, who all were sent to an official refugee center, where everyone got registered, fed, medicated etc.
People were working on his case, but they had problems finding out who he was because something was wrong with his visa. It took some time until everything was resolved.
