Comment(by baijiu):

 I also found a thread on the Chinese Ubuntu forum where Chinese users
 reported the [http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=313880/ same
 problem] today. The first post is about Empathy, but because that program
 also uses libpurple, and because others in that thread report having the
 same problem with Pidgin, it should be the same issue.

 Coincidentally, I also found a thread about a modified
 [http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=313570/ QQ plugin in
 development] which supposedly fixes many issues and was posted only two
 days ago. I gave it a try, but unfortunately the problem still persists.
 Yet unlike the QQ plugin that normally comes with Pidgin, it does not show
 the captchas, but comes straight up with the same Chinese error message
 which says support for your QQ version has been discontinued. Since
 development of the normal QQ plugin has been pretty much dead for quite
 some time, it might be worth it to keep an eye on this one to see where
 it's going though.
