Searle himself certainly takes it that linguistic understanding requires consciousness experience. So the Chinese Room Argument can operate as a challenge to the functionalist account of consciousness, as well as to its account of linguistic understanding.

Not all functionalists capitulate to the Chinese Room Argument. They point out that the crucial issue is not whether the man inside understands the inscriptions – clearly he doesn’t – but whether the whole system does. After all, the Chinese Room is presumably supposed to establish the non-consciousness of whole computers, not of every component.
