SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): CHIDE, National lawmaker; Party chief of Pholrongthang Village, Nagqu STORYLINE: In China's Xizang, the high elevation, low air pressure and low boiling point of water make conventional cooking a time-consuming and laborious process. In Nagqu, a prefecture-level city in Xizang with an average altitude of over 4,500 meters, water boils at around 85 degrees Celsius. Pressure cookers address this problem, as they increase internal pressure through continuous heating, which raises boiling point of water, and hence, speeds up cooking process. In a meeting of deputies from the delegation of Xizang at the second session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), an NPC de
