Increasing demand to learn Chinese language

Editor's note: Nancy Hsiao, founder and director of Han You Chinese Language Institute, headed to New Delhi from her hometown in Taiwan. She established the institute in 2011 to offer Chinese-language training courses. China Daily reporter An Baijie spoke with her on Sept 13 and below is an abstract of what she said about her career.

The China-India relationship has improved in recent years, especially after then-Chinese president Hu Jintao visited India in 2006. More and more Indian people, mostly businessmen who trade with China, have an increasing demand to learn the Chinese language.

However, the number of Chinese people living in India remains small, let alone qualified Chinese-language teachers. I have experience teaching the Chinese language in Taiwan so I decided to establish an institute in New Delhi to train people in Chinese.
