Check out how xeCJK [1] does what you need with \XeTeXinterchartoks.

Basically you first assign each Chinese character a class (1) with
\XeTeXcharclass (Latin characters will be class 0), then use
\XeTeXinterchartoks to define the command to execute between class
0 and 1. You can define more classes like for punctuations.
