That depends, actually.  If you're not routing DNS through the
tunnel, then DNS requests will be leaked and the local ISP is
free to intervene and return whatever they like for them.  I
can't say how using a nameserver outside of .cn would affect
things, since I don't have any machines inside .cn to test with.
