This has been said a dozen times since the beginning of the 7th generation though; the console market just isn't that big of a deal in China and the consoles that do release there see very limited lifetime sales in spite of great performances elsewhere. They said the very same thing about the Wii and the PS3 in their day; China (and to a lesser extent, India) would be a major factor in global sales. This never happened, of course.
China is irrelevant, they're better off going for it even more in Japan, remain stable in the North American market and increase their sales in Europe instead.

Times change, neither Wii and neither PS3 were relased in China, China like market is much more open today than 5-10 years ago, and Nintendo games (that usually don't have blood and big violence) would be good fit for China market. I dont say that Switch in China will be big, butdefinatly could be at least doing OK.

They can release Switch in China, and remain stable sales in US and increase sales in Europe.

Im sorry but I am with Mummelman on this one. China is relevant and will remain so for the forseeable future, when it comes down to console game. They can release the hadrware, but they will never get the software flow going, at least not with the curent laws in place. Im not saying that it cant do a million LT in China, its just pretty much peanuts when it will come down to the rest of the world.
