As long as it’s not vacuum sealed, you can leave it on the counter all day. Even in the west we defrost meat this way :)

No "we" don't.

That is expressly against USDA guidelines that say meat left in the danger zone[1] for more than 2 hours should not be consumed.

I don't eat meat, but my husband does, and he defrosts his meat in the fridge.
