The best way is to learn both Chinese and English, as Chinese is very popular now and may become an international language in the future. It is useful for one's career, especially if he will do some job related to Chinese. Of course, English is always hot, but nowadays, many people can speak English, so it is never treated as a big advantage. At the same time, in school, almost every student learns English, so if you want to expand the knowledge of your kid, learning Chinese is a good choice.

Is it easier for a foreigner to learn Chinese or for a Chinese to learn English?

No, it is not. But, if you work harder, it's easy! If the foreigner is born in a Chinese speaking environment or the Chinese person is born in a English speaking environment it makes it a lot easier! Complete immersion is one of the best ways to learn another language.
