Actually I have no sympathy for this chef. When in Rome, do as the Romans. If the regime is too oppressive, then so be it. That is their culture. No need for us to foment even more counter-cultural behavior.
That’s a strange post.
A society doesn’t change unless people stand up against the regime. That means putting themselves at risk. Are you just going to accept repression & oppression here? Kudos on this guy, & here’s hoping they don’t kill him.
