I have a variant where China also joined:

Black is Shogi, White is Xiangqi with two queens(狂) and four bishops(斜) from the chess.

The start position is this(dot is empty grid):

lmsgkgsml
.r.....b.
ppppppppp
.........
.........
.........
P.P.P.P.P
.C.....C.
QBB...BBQ
RNEAKAENR

How many chance will China+USA side win?

This is not fair for Chinese side. I suggest that Chinese side having a special piece(Mad warrior, M), just like this:

rnbq.kbnr
pppp.pppp
.........
.........
.........
.........
P.P.P.P.P
MC.....CM
.........
RHEAKAEHR

Mad warrior can move as the combine of Rook, Horse(Xiangqi), Cannon, and also Dragon King in Shogi.

In my notation,

Ninny is Pawn,

Numskull is Rook,

and Brain is Core.
