Would a HF short a stock with USD$5MM daily trading volume?

Stock Ticker: 151 HK (Want Want China Holdings Ltd)

Stock market cap: 8.6B USD

Fund size: 1B USD

Realistically, do you guys think a stock with such low daily trading volume is worth shorting by a billion dollar hedge fund?

A billion dollar fund will still have little positions, so I don’t know if the size itself is an issue. However, other problems, like high borrow costs, might make the trade less appealing.
