Its clear that the only way the demand is going to stop at this point is when they go extinct. China has made it VERY clear they have no intention of helping with the situation. No matter what they have said over the years, they're action speak louder than words. Whether it be how they treat captive black bears only for bile or the shark finning. Its just not fair to the rest of the world in this case.
