I have some websites on the cloud (Rackspace for that matter), and I manage their DNS using Route53 (the domain is registered on GoDaddy if it matters).
The thing is that those websites are targeted to the Chinese community, and we know that some of them are able to see those sites, while some of them don't.
Checking the PC's that can't reach the site shows that they don't get the URL's from their DNS provider. Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 solved the issue.
Off course i can't change the DNS settings of a billion people, but is there any way to manage my DNS in a China's friendly DNS registrar instead of route 53? (or in addition?).

I personally use CloudFlare , they have their own data centres worldwide and they have the facility of DNS caching. Try it and will resolve your problem. consider propagation before changing name servers.
