There are definitely more web browsers in China that have the Accept-Language header wrongly set to English, than there are English readers there who want English. So the websites may not know better than you, but they know better than the majority of the web browsers. It's not perfect, but they are making the correct general decision IMO.

How? Seriously, how? Assuming the browser's interface is in Chinese, the Accept-Language header should be set properly.
