How do I change the language in "New Tab" from Chinese to English?

The new tab page is presented with a different version in Mainland China. The only way to get around it is to use a service that circumvents the Great Firewall, like VPN. If you have a VPN enabled and then clear the browser cache, the new tab will be the international version.

I know this is frustrating, but there is nothing Microsoft can do. It's either this or no service at all in China. Similarly, Bing in China is also modified and censored a bit to comply with Chinese laws and regulations.

Doesn't work.

There is a settings cog to the right of the screen on the banner (within the tab)

Select the bottom tab > click the tab you enter into > this is the language menu.

Select a language you can read!

These are some of the first steps I undertook. 

Opening a new tab still defaults to a MSN Chinese language and news page.

Why did the Edge upgrade change my settings and what am I to do other than revert back to the previous version?

In fact, none of my other (6) computers using W10 and the previous version of Edge, have any problem.

You have made a calculated change to Edge, which ensures that I have no access to newspages outside of China.

Please provide a workaround or the simple truth that there is nothing you can do to solve this problem.

Yes here is a screenshot - you have to repeat the series of actions x 2 (twice) for it to work for some silly reason.

Do it twice and it will be in your language. I do not know why, but you have to do it twice for it to work. But every time you restart PC, new tabs will show news in the language of the region you are in again, but websites you use will still see your settings as your chosen language. For example, i put mynew tab to Mexican Spanish, and when i restart edge, new tab news is back in Thai, but if i open youtube it still shows me content in Mexico Regional Spanish.

This shows that Edge knows you are in China or Thailand or whatever, and tells Microsoft, and adjusts your new tab to default location, but that non Microsoft Websites do not see this, and maintain your chosen language display settings. I find it a bit cheeky of Microsoft to arrogantly think they can just reset our new tab settings and forget our customizations every time i open Edge, and an invasion of Privacy, as well as a failed attempt at using A.I. based on the stupid assumption that when an American freelancer in China opens their laptop on holiday or 2 week foreign work stint, is Chinese, and can read Chinese! This is a stupid way to decide which language to display a webpage in, and if any spying of our pc is to be done at all, they should check what our operating system language is, and our default keyboard language, and use THAT as criteria for deciding what language to display something in, regardless of region or location. We have Pakistanis in New Orleans, Americans in Nepal, Nepalese in the Philippines, English in Thailand.. What the heck do these developers think when they develop these algorithms? Obviously short sightedness is the reason for this. And the fact that unlike me, a person who has traveled to over 36 countries and lived in many of them, and speaks 5 languages, most people who program for Microsoft never left their province, never mind their country, so they do not k now that most of the world has left their own country and is a global village traveling freelancer. The developers have a pre 1975 mindset as if only Chinese live in China, and only Thais in Thailand, so if you access a website from China.. well, you MUST be Chinese, because in Alabama we don't ever seen no Chinese ....Oink, Lack of International Mindset in the Developer Community as far as default language based on location programming is concerned.
