What do you mean by “understand”? Do you mean conscious?
Understand just means “parse language” and is highly subjective. If I talk to someone African in Chinese they do not understand me but they are still conscious.
If I talk to an LLM in Chinese it will understand me but that doesn’t mean it is conscious.
If I talk about physics to a kindergartner they will not understand but that doesn’t mean they don’t understand anything.
