Their hardware is garbage anyway and they made a mistake releasing other phones to the U.S and other countries who care more about quality than China does as it has given Huawei a pretty bad reputation. I see the recent release of the HTC One M8 for Windows as a very positive sign that there is value in Windows Phone. Hopefully Samsung realizes this too once they realize that Tizen will be more difficult to push than Windows Phone and decides to do the same with their Galaxy flagships as HTC has done.
Huawei is to Asia what Samsung is to US. Infact Samsung is important globally too. I agree that Samsung needs to bring out a Windows Phone Flagship and with same might, carrier support and marketing as they do for their Android flagships. That said, Huawei is an emerging King in Asia and now that they are more focused on smartphones, Huawei-made windows phones might have helped our cause alot.
Still, they haven't ruled out windows phone completely. His exact words were "even with windows phone it is difficult". Which we all know ofcourse. I hope with current rate of progress with OS, we might win them back.
