I tried before too but could not get success because my foreign number also "suspicious." Best if you can use a mainland China phone number to start the account.
But maybe safer to not have the QQ messenger?

This isn’t the first time Tencent has spied on users for the Chinese government
Since last year, QQ messenger has lost 6% of its active users – possibly because users have already started distrusting QQ and Tencent. Over the years, similar revelations about Tencent’s anti-privacy and weak security practices have come out especially in regards to QQ products. Back in 2016, the University of Toronto’s CitizenLab revealed that Tencent’s QQ Browser regularly sent personal information back to Tencent unencrypted. Furthermore, it became known that this overt lack of encryption was likely explicitly requested by “higher powers.”
