Elephant extinction is a good proxy for decolonization. (Chinese global hegemony is probably their only hope now.)

Yep. I could see the Chinese taking pity on the elephant.

Not valuable enough probably. Elephants take up too much room. But they're popular enough that people who are wealthy enough will want to set aside space for them. cf the Chinese and pandas
