Did you order an AC, or DC, CDI unit? Do you have a wiring diagram for you bike? Spud

http://zongshenforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=89.0 This diagram indicated the ZS250GS employs a DC-CDI unit. My Zongshen 200GY-2 employs an AC-CDI unit, so this is another difference between the two motorcycles. I wouldn't be surprised if the CDI unit you ordered is only available in the DC version. Spud

It's very possible your problems are caused by another electrical component, or are not even electrical in nature. However, if the CDI unit doesn't solve your problems, we can certainly help you to methodically find a solution. In any event, you were still wise to purchase another CDI unit. Spud

Don't ride far from home. CDI boxes are known to start acting up after they get hot. Sometimes you will just get rough running, sometimes they totally shut down and then you can let it cool off and it will run again.

I suggest you listen to Kato. CDI units are notorious for intermittent failures, especially when hot. If you keep riding the bike, a failing CDI unit will eventually die altogether, frequently stranding you in the worst possible place. :( Replace the CDI unit with a new one, and see if the problems disappear. If the problems continue, you need to fix something else. If the problems disappear, get another CDI unit. Having a spare greatly facilitates troubleshooting the electrical system, and allows you to ride instead of waiting for a spare to arrive.
