Pretty odd, I am able to use curl to get 
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=^_^lang=zh
but have the same problem as you fetching it through Firefox/Safari.

This is most likely because there are extremely few results in chinese
that match the query.

Right now Twitter Search handles lang queries in a relatively
inefficient way, so that queries for common terms that match extremely
few results may time out. We can (and will) make this better, but the
point is that you probably wouldn't have gotten many, if any, results
for this query in any case.
