Actually, it's both. Back in 2022, you have to install either WeChat or Alipay to scan the government's health code literally everywhere.

hmm, i forgot about those. but i wonder if you really needed wechat and if it wasn't possible to scan them with the government provided app that tracks your healthcode too. i think offering wechat support was more out of convenience, and not to push people to use wechat.
