In my opinion,
That would probably be the realm of the CIA/DIA/NSA, at least before the US crosses the inter German border and engages the Warsaw Pact. The CIA Special Activities Division would conceivably run some operations in China before official US engagement.
You might also get some "retired" US personnel as observers attached to Chinese units.
You might also get some civilian tech reps once the West starts selling weapons and equipment to China.
Likewise with other NATO and even non NATO nations that are opposed to the Soviet Union (ie Israel, South Africa). They may send some observers as well and even clandestine intelligence officers, but anything overt, probably not at the start.
We've discussed foreign volunteers ala the Flying Tigers as well in previous threads.
Once NATO officially commits against the Warsaw Pact, then yes, you may see units deployed, and foreign volunteer formations may even get official designation similar to how the Flying Tigers became part of the US Army Air Corps.
