My new tab region being locked to Mainland China while my region is not China
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 butto...
Did you install Edge using a Chinese installer?
try this:
make sure your country in Windows is set to US.
connect to your VPN that is from another country other than China.
go to this URL: https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/
download Canary online setup from there (pay attention to the URL not to change at any point, like en-us change to ch-zn)
install Edge Canary and see if the problem still exists.

No, it was installed with English installer but primary language set to Simplified Chinese, because it's a browser scope setting not user scope.
I don't use a VPN and this is the default IP for all internet traffic.
I tried remove property "intl" with value "en-US" from "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\LocalState", then my new tab restored to ntp.msn.com. I don't understand why remove language setting will change this behavior.
I think there are more complex logic to detect user's location, and only engineer at MSFT know about it's detail.
- Well I would know how to solve it on my system on my own
but I don't have direct access to your system and we can't discuss just any method publicly so I think you should wait until your feedback gets a response.
