For my part, Chinese will be my choice. The reason of my choice is: First, I' m a Chinese teacher. Most importantly, with the rapid development of China, China is becoming stronger and stronger and there are more and more people learning Chinese. Chinese will become an important tool for the exchange of ideas that have adapted to the needs of human social life, so Chinese will be the best choice for us.

I want to learn kanji so do you think I should take Chinese as my subject next semmester or do you think it'll mess me up with my Japanese?
I would not recommend taking Japanese and Chinese at the same time. One of my friends did that and both grades suffered. So, yeah, I do believe it will interfere with you learning the Japanese version of Chinese characters.Also, you could learn Kanji without taking a course. There are numerous on-line (reliable) that are free (And some not) that are aimed to help people learn Kanji.PS. Chinese and Japanese (Though similar with some Kanji) are very different languages.

Is there a major difference between the Japanese language and the Chinese language?
There are many differences between the two languages, but it takes time to spot them. Japanese is often written in kanji, which is Chinese calligraphy but is also made up of katakana and hiragana, two alphabets used only by the Japanese language. The language itself is very different, because it is a different country, culture and lifestyle. The number system is taken from the Chinese language, but it should be noted that Japanese has its own counting system that isn't recognized by many people striving to learn Japanese. It should be realized that these are two separate languages, and it would be a much shorter list to recognize the similarities rather than the differences.

Who would win a Japanese ninja or a Chinese ninja?
There is no such thing as a Chinese ninja. Ninjas originated from japan. however China had far superior karate masters. So basicaly the Chinese were highly skilled in karate but not with weapons. whereas the Japanese knew karate but they weren't as good as the Chinese but the Japanese were highly skilled with weapons. so in my opinion, in a fight between a feudal Chinese warrior and a feudal Japanese warrior (ninja) , the Japanese ninja would win
