Of course, Chinese. China's increasingly powerful stature and more business opportunities relating to the Chinese language means it has become one of the world's most important business tools. It is critical to the success of business negotiations.

So if it is possible, learn both languages if you are interested in engaging Northeast Asia. To the native English-speaker, Japanese could be the more difficult language to learn, but it all depends on other factors like whether you have the benefit of good teachers who are able to explain in English when it is needed, and/or whether you have Japanese-speaking friends who are more than willing to converse in Japanese with you.
