You ask that little man (who happens to have a wet squishy brain) in that gigantic room if he is conscious on knowing Chinese and he says no. The only wet squishy thing in that humongous room is in the little man and* you assume* only wet squishy things can be conscious and so *conclude* that there is no consciousness of Chinese in that astronomically large room.
