In regards to getting foreign troops into the US, every option I can think of involves Mexico
Perhaps Mexico devolves into drug cartel fueled chaos and either the Russians or Chinese somehow convince the Govt that they can provide peacekeepers.
Or maybe the Chinese invest heavily in Mexico and send "guards" to protect their facilities and staff. That at least gives them a foothold in North America.
You could have the drug cartels buy weapons from the Russians (or DPRK) as well.

One thought that I have is the Chinese working with whomever they hit the west cost of the US. How, three ways that I see.
First there is so much shipping comving from China to the US you take several container ships and modifie them so that they are now "assault ships" you have some heavy equipment loaded in the back/bottom then some light vehicles and last light troops. When the ship hits the port the light troops storm the port and take it over, no matter how good the port police are they are not staffed/trained or equiped to deal with a military assault. As this is going on you are offloading the light vehicles to go and attack the close by military bases, if you timed it for a four day weekend the number of troops on base are limited and most of them do not even have access to weapons and ammo. last for this part you are now off loading the heavy equipment to be you main attack force if/when the US military gets up and running.
Second you modifie some comercial airliners for airborn insertion of "commandos" you can have them fly from one airport to another then to there final destionation in the US so that they are slightly off corse not so much that it raises red flags but close enough that they can jump and land on different military bases. The commandos would be used to tie up any armed troops on the base waiting for the heavery troops to land in the ships (above).
And last not sure so much down south but up here in WA there is a large Asian population (more in Canada) you send in some special forces to prep and when attack happens to attack the police keep them from getting involved.
So if this happened at every major port up and down the west cost on a four day weekend how much mayham could they cause. Now if this was only part of the "Bad guy" plan may the opening shot quickly followed by other operations by other countries would it work? The possable ways that it could be found out about are if at one of the airports customs wanted to check even though no passengers were getting on or off the plane, if one of the ships got picked for a customs inspection, or if a spy got word of this before they left China.
Some possable couterparts I could see, Mexico hitting the south, Russia in EU, Middile east (just about any part).
