Huaban, China's Pinterest - Registration Issue

[R.P. Gryphus]

Hi everyone!

I need some help. I tried to create an account on Huaban, through the many option offered like WeChat, Weibo, QQ, etc. But nothing works. I tried with online disposable numbers, with and without VPN, with my real number, with Facebook, with mobile apps, and absolutely nothing work. The "closest" I have come to create a WeChat account was when during my registration it asked me to be confirmed by already existing WeChat users... And of course I didn't find any, except those charging 30$ lol. So can anyone help me out creating an account? I would greatly appreciate it!

Let me know!

Do you have a real mainland Chinese phone number? If you have one you do not need to use WeChat, Weibo , QQ or Douban.

No I don't have one, otherwise I suspect I wouldn't have so much trouble creating an account. I just need to figure out a way to create a WeChat/QQ account so I can navigate through and sign up on chinese websites.

Do you know of a way? Surely they have an avenue for foreigners to navigate their platforms?

I did have a wechat account but do not use it often. I don't know about this confirm by other use thing either. Can you give more details on that?

During the registration process (of WeChat), you are given a QR code that you are supposed to send to someone who already has a WeChat account in order for them to vouch for you. Them scanning your QR code through their WeChat app will allow you to proceed in your registration.
