How is "thinking" other than "processing data"?

Please give your answers to following questions I asked some posts ago.

* If I build a device that can copy a human atom by atom. What would that duplicate do? How would it behave?

* If I build a device that can take a snapshot of my brain, and build a very very very high powered Virtual Reality Simulation, that can simulate the behaviour of every single cell in my brain from the snapshot on. Can this simulation think?

* Why is it, that a human can never learn to speak chinese if he has never been exposed to chinese?
