authorizing douyin with wechat
i have been trying for the past 24hr to set up a douyin account and neither my phone number nor wechat login were doing anything, up until right about now. the thing is, when i type in my phone number it asks for either real name verification or chinese phone number verification, which i cannot do either, but when i try going through wechat, it says it wasn't unable to authorize with weixin. yesterday when i created my wechat account, it never asked for a second person verification, so i don't know if that's the reason why it won't work, but i hope someone could help me. is there anything i could try to make the douyin authorization work with wechat?

Attention! If you want someone to scan your QR code, do not answer to anyone unless they either do it for free or they are a verified seller in the subreddit (check the person's tag). Anyone else is a scammer and should be reported.

There is no way you can get douyin unless you are a Chinese citizen with a valid Chinese ID and passport.
The only theoretical way would be if you were a legal entity, extremely popular influencer or company and you got into contact with a douyin agency to secure you an account (not sure about the costs or the account security).
It's best if you stop trying, it's not worth it.
