If you can secure a Chinese bank account then everything is possible, the first step is finding a bank that will give you an account with just your passport. I hear most now require forms of residency.
Sorry for the late reply -- I didn't try sending/receiving as I could never get it to link up with Didi which was my main need. My local friend ended up creating a whole new WeChat (and Pay) account for me to use instead...
