I been told Wechat requires phone number, do they not check VOIP numbers or did they just not block your number for creation? That's super weird.

They have (or had) a system for reactivation that involved endorsement from another account. IIRC it was QR code based, so one of my friends would scan my reactivation QR code and a few verification texts later I’d have my account back. The last time I was banned, it was after I hearted one of my friend’s posts about his graduation.
