Good afternoon smaustin2,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand you have purchased a new iPhone which is showing everything in Chinese. Where did you buy this iPhone? It sounds like it has already been set up by someone else, in which case it probably has Activation Lock enabled. I would suggest taking the iPhone back to the person who sold it to you.


What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Find My iPhone Activation Lock


Take care.
