Imagine a native English speaker who does not know that Chinese is trapped in a room full of commands (programs) that manipulate symbols boxes (databases) and symbols in Chinese. Imagine people outside the room will send other Chinese symbols. These are unknown in the room and are questions of Chinese (input). And according to the instructions of the program, people in the room can pass the Chinese symbol which is the correct answer (output) of the question. This plan allows people in the room to understand Chinese through Turing test, but he does not understand Chinese.

Consider John Searle's room experiment in China. A man is sitting in a room with a book offering an English translation of Chinese symbols. Then a piece of paper will slide under the door containing Chinese symbols. With this book, he translates the page of that symbol into English, then flips the paper back to the back of the door. This system is useful for translating Chinese into English, but it can not be said that the person "understands" Chinese. Likewise, this shows how to output the correct information without knowing what the computer is doing.

The central point of discussion is simulation by a computer imaginary human, similar to Turing's paper machine. People in the Chinese room will follow the instructions for operating Chinese symbols in English if the computer "follows" programs written in computer language. Humans have developed an understanding of China's appearance by following symbolic operating instructions, but do not understand China like that. Computers are doing what human beings do - just manipulate symbols according to grammar - computers do not do anything, so understand Chinese according to the program.
