I think my new tab being locked to Mainland China because there is a IPC license number at left bottom of my new tab.And i was not able to see an option to change my region inside the setting button at top right of new tab. My IP address was from HongKong, my account region was HongKong, and i confirm my Windows region was set to Hongkong, but... Why the fxxking new tab does not follow my setting? why change region option was removed after it locked to China???

gocloud Thanks for sharing that screenshot again. To follow-up on my last reply, did you have a chance to submit detailed feedback and diagnostic logs through the browser? It would really help our devs. In the meantime, I'll follow up with our New Tab Page team and will let you know if they can provide any insights.

I have US IP and language settings in Windows. Using Edge Version 83.0.477.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)set my Edge language to a couple of Chinese language variations: Spoiler (Highlight to read)Simplified Chinese Simplified Chinese Chinese (Traditional) - 中文（繁體） Chinese (Traditional) - 中文（繁體） Simplified Chinese Simplified Chinese Chinese (Traditional) - 中文（繁體） Chinese (Traditional) - 中文（繁體） and as you can see they all offer all languages for the New tab page. there are some other Chinese variations such as these: Spoiler (Highlight to read) but as you can see in the screenshots, the option to set them as the display language in Edge is unavailable. I suggest you to clean uninstall Edge canary, remove user data when asked during uninstall (it's a small checkbox) and then install it again to check.

  Deleted Can you explain why NTP is locked to China while browser primary language was set as zh-CN?
  
  Browser primary language set as zh-CN does not mean the current user (a people) or it's account belongs to China.
  It could mean this device was used by multiple people for work and some of them can only read Chinese.
  
  Every language except zh-CN have this option 👇
