I am not aware of a confirmed bird flu outbreak in the government market at Cheung Sha Wan, Hong Kong. Here is a link to info on that site.

Apparently the poultry association is upset that a local outbreak of bird flu does not stop exports into mainland China, but perceived poultry outbreaks (as evidenced by recent human cases - link, link, link) stops imports of poultry from mainland China into Hong Kong.
