As most shark fin are consumed in Hong Kong and Hong Kong people are now advocating the ban of shark fin in banquets, the situation is moving in the right direction.

Hong Kong eating the most shark fins? Did that statement even when through your brain when you typed it out?
HK = 7M population
PRC = 1.3B population
News report from TVB, Now, etc. have all said that it is PRC that consumes over 90% of the world's shark fins. HK and TW only amount to a small percentage of the consumption both because of a significantly smaller population and because of higher awareness of the cruelty involved in shark fin harvesting.
Yao Ming advocating against eating shark fins is true, but in PRC, serving shark fins is a form of showing off your wealth, and it only happens all too frequently in the rich man banquets as well as the ones where the bill is taken care of by Grandfather.
Don't spew any of your nonsense when they are obviously false!!!
