I guess almost nobody knows QQ outside of China. IRC is indeed preferable because it's the simplest technology and available in every country. I use ChatZilla which is a plugin for Mozilla. In case you want to use a client, that supports IRC as well as QQ and MSN you should consider using pidgin <http://pidgin.im>. Pidgin is included in almost every Linux distribution and there's also a version for windows available.
