I don't think his claim was predicated on the success of Android in China, but rather upon the general success of OEMs shipping Android phones. It has users and an ecosystem which WP7, interesting though it is, can't claim.

Many people would have lept at a Nokia smartphone running Android, given the consumer goodwill they've built up over the years. Few seem willing to do so for Nokias running WP7. Android was a proven platform with wide adoption when they announced their support for WP7; their decision to hitch their wagon to MS can only be seen as a grave mistake.

Maybe things will turn around, but it doesn't look likely at this point.
