Q: why french teachers are not requiring?
i can teach french how to do?
8 years 5 weeks ago in Teaching & Learning - China
Because in the grand ol' game of colonialism the French didn't fare quite so well as the British.
How to do??
Many Chinese are now working in Africa where french is spoken. Maybe you could hook up wirh companies that send workers there. I know a guy going to Burkina Faso soon for work and he is worried that he speaks no French. Maybe you can find a nice niche

Isn't that a somewhat dangerous part of the world to go??

That's what I thought but he is being offered a bucket load of cash for a year so he's willing risk it. I doubt I would.
Look around universities. I think the bigger cities (higher tier) should have something like a "Foreign Language" school or university.
Also, for some reason, France is associated with all things romantic.. which the girls just love! So, you could offer private lessons, playing on that stereotype. If you can get a room somewhere (nudge nudge wink wink), and put up posters - Eiffel Tower, etc etc, and then have a wechat account, you might get students.
Learning English as a Chinese can get you to the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand which are popular destinations for Chinese.
Learning French as a Chinese can only get you to France and that's pretty much it.
