Which culture do you like better? Which do you want to know better? Learning another language is never a bad choice, but you’ll have an easier time if there is more of an incentive than “business” reasons. Between German and French, influence-wise French is more widespread, but if you like Goethe more than Voltaire, it’ll be better for you to pick German.

Chinese (I’m guessing Mandarin) is really hard to learn if the only thing you want to do is conduct business. The best way to learn a language is through immersion, and while it’s not always possible to do that, to really learn a language you have to at least want to be immersed in a culture using that language.
