DNS resolution works short of like this. (I am no DNS expert on how the
protocol works, but should be close.)

1. Your host goes to your primary DNS server.
2. If the name is not local to your DNS server, it looks up the root
servers, which replies with the address of an authoritative server for the
domain of the name.
3. Your DNS server goes to the DNS server responsible for the domain, and
resolves the IP address.
4. Your DNS server send the information back to your host.

Now, if you are resolving near names, say, all within China, then all is
O.K. because chances are, you have enough bandwidth within China, but
bandwidth can be tight going overseas. Should the communication between your
DNS server and the other DNS servers breaking up due to lost packets which
is due to congestion, your name resolution fails.

To remedy this, try to use a DNS server located in the USA as your secondary
DNS server. May be some of your friends here can provide a IP address for
you?

If you have DNS server setup locally, you may try nslookup for more
information.
