It's not really in the category of ideas that can be proven or disproven, which is why arguments about it have essentially gone in circles for the last thirty years -- neither the idea nor the responses to it have meaningfully changed, because people tend to either think the Chinese room example is obviously correct, or they consider one of the responses obviously correct, and there's no room for "that argument is only partially correct".
