Umbra is going to be better than original, hence why DE has stated that Umbra will be the global upgrade for Excal.

also you are mistaken by what the term "Prime" means, a Prime first and foremost represents Orokin technology, of which is superior quality and craftmanship, which in gameplay is represented with better(objectively and subjectively) stats

as has already been mentioned, an Umbra by default is already a "Prime" by definition(gold equals Orokin, Orokin equals Prime), so we can expect our Umbra to have stats better than the base

as for China's Umbra Prime, we have to remember that theirs is an equivalent of our Prime, and even though theirs has more energy then ours, you have to remember than DE purposefully gave Excal. Prime a mediocre stat buff(25 extra armor, which comes to an additional 2% damage mitigation, not at all noticeable in game) so not to make everyone else who does not own the Prime feel like they are missing out on anything, China does not need to follow this decision
