Although most Chinese apps and neitizens prefer to phone number rather than email, WeChat does provide a way to link to email for security. It’s not mandatory, but most young people, especially the white collars will do.

So I think the process is quite straightforward: sign in with WeChat, if the user has already linked an email, go ahead; otherwise require for a new email because of Discourse.
