Assuming market reforms continue in China, being fluent in Chinese could provide new opportunities for you in the future. Combine that with a law degree and you would have a somewhat specialized skill set. As we all know, when developing countries move from state control to free markets the legal system usually needs an overhaul for investment and business start-ups to take place. Command-style economies can often have overly complex regulatory structures that hinder growth. That being said, understanding Chinese, law and the Chinese legal system (which would likely require instruction from a specialized institution) has the potential to be a profitable skill.
