I don't think its just China. Horns used to be one of the ingredients in classic chinese medicine, but its drastically reduced next to none after horns were banned a couple of decades ago. India itself is a big importer of horns and I think much bigger then China |

That's not true at all. In fact India has two-thirds of the world's great one-horned rhino population in the Kaziranga National Park.

There are armed guards protecting the rhinos and they've even shot and killed poachers, though poaching still happens due to demand from Southeast Asia.

As per the article below, Vietnam is the country that is driving the current demand for rhino horns.
