Rockstar is certainly not averse to having a Chinese main character, as with GTA Chinatown Wars, and the character you describe is the same sort of underdog that features in many of their games. I personally like the idea of presenting different stories within an existing world, as they did with The Lost and the Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony. I think this story could be a good one

Financially it seems like a good move too, getting more than one use out of the huge investment in creating the world, game mechanics, etc. The question from a sales perspective is: what percentage of the audience would be satisfied (like me) with a game that is new only in story, not in features? Also, what percentage of the audience would be put off by a "Western" game that doesn't star a traditional cowboy/outlaw type?
