    HI Matthias

    I had a same issue once, clicked USA (Spanish). Anyway on this page on the top right, click a gear icon, then in the menu click advanced - (last word with a right angle bracket at the bottom of the list) Then you can change the language - it will pop up with the list of languages. After you choose the desired language make sure to reload the page.

    Good luck

    Goto Region in Control Panel

    Click "Copy Settings" in "Administrative" Tab

    Did you See "China" on Location for Current User?

    If "yes" Proceed to 

    Go back to "Format" Tab to Change "Language Preferences" (Underlined in Blue)

    You will be ...

    Re-Directed to Language in System Settings

    Under Region and Change to "Your Own Country" (Was China)

    Reboot Computer

    Location is now Changed to "Your Country" in Administrative Tab

    Hope this help

    I have got the same problem.   After I have tried all above suggestion,  my problem has gone after I have disabled "Personalize your web experience" option from Edge settings.

    This problem may be happening due to the region in which this device is registered.

    Follow these steps to change the location of your device for Edge:

    1. Go to Start  > Settings  > Privacy  > Location.
    2. Turn on Allow access to location on this device.
    3. Turn on Allow apps to access your location.
    4. Turn on Allow desktop apps to access your location if present.

    I am not sure which version of Edge you are using (Edge legacy or Chromium Edge).

    For the Chromium Edge, the new tab page is actually a web page. In mainland China the address is:

    https://ntp.msn.cn/edge/ntp

    And for the internal version the address is:

    https://ntp.msn.com/edge/ntp

    From what I experiment in Firefox, the automatic selection of Chinese version for users from mainland China appears to be set at the server of Microsoft. In Firefox if you enter the internal link the page will automatically jump to the Chinese version. So the problem might not be on the browser side. 

    However, a word to Microsoft: even if you have to comply to the regulations in China, I guess there is no need to display the contents only in Chinese. You can make an English version of the webpage without showing the "sensitive" information blocked by China.
