Q: My remote won't work Apple TV 4 am I doing something wrong I charged it, is there any lights on if mine doesn't light up

1. Go to Settings > Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth, then select your remote. Make sure that your remote is charged and connected.
2. Restart your Apple TV.
3. Pair your remote again. Put your Siri Remote within three inches of your Apple TV, and point it at the front of your Apple TV. Then press and hold the Menu and Volume Up buttons for five seconds.

Got the same problem here.

My ATV boots up goes directly to a screen with this chinese words that I would guess is a select language menu, but the remote is unresponsive.

Protodd solution won't work at all since the remote itself is not working.

Well the OP in this thread was asking about pairing the remote. You have a different issue as your language selection was set as Chinese...
