The idea is, roughly, if a person in the place of the cpu does not understand chinese, then the cpu doesn't understand chinese.

And because the cpu is the part that does stuff, like the person, then if the system w/ the person doesn't understand chinese, then the computer w/ the cpu doesn't understand chinese.

Because there's nothing to make the cpu more understand-y, only things to make it less understand-y, and otherwise the systems are the same.
