Both are stationary bikes. Lots of work to go nowhere. Anyone in either country who can help you make money already speaks English. Since you didnt specify a dialect, I'd suggest Cantonese. You could go far in south china being the only white dude who can speak their native language better than the northerners do.
The most practical Asian languages to learn are the obscure ones. I'm talking laosian, nepalese, that sort of shit. Find a country that still has powerful people who don't speak english. These are the types who can pay you five figures to market their underpriced products and so on.
I thought I was cool for learning Vietnamese but ESL is too big in this country for it to make me any dosh. Only serious business situations it helps in are with gangster/policeman types and that's not the kind of action you want. Still glad I learned it cause now I get to settle comfortably in the best country, but I doubt that's what you're looking for
