I'm getting 400-500ms to mit.edu on DSL in Beijing. Traceroute is better 
than yours, but it's the same problem. Here's an excerpt:

  7  202.96.12.37 (202.96.12.37)  7.449 ms  7.237 ms  7.186 ms
  8  219.158.3.14 (219.158.3.14)  7.516 ms  7.054 ms  7.126 ms
  9  sl-gw23-ana-1-0.sprintlink.net (144.228.173.249)  491.745 ms 
487.764 ms  493.701 ms
10  sl-bb20-ana-3-3.sprintlink.net (144.232.1.45)  496.404 ms *  458.940 ms
11  sl-bb24-ana-13-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.1.138)  495.507 ms  463.220 
ms  484.884 ms

That jump to sprintlink is the big one, and it's happening at the same 
time as yours. I haven't been following the discussion too closely, but 
it looks like the biggest problem might not be in Dalian. That 60-70ms 
ping before the jump to sprintlink is suspect, though.
