No one is going to get jailed for teaching Cantonese in China. There are plenty of commercial offerings, e.g. this free introductory course I found: https://www.wanmen.org/courses/586d23485f07127674135d64

Mandarin being the primary language of education doesn't mean that Cantonese is prohibited; it's just not mandatory, so most native Cantonese speakers aren't going to get a formal education in it unless they specifically seek it out.

Thank you for the correction; it’s too late to edit but I would if I could :(
