I want to start learning a new language. I already speak spanish, english, dutch, french, italian and portuguese but now I'm more interested in a real challenge. Japanese or Chinese are the ones I feel most interested about. But which one would you consider to have more future business speaking?

If you look at stats, you will find there are more Chinese speakers in the world today, than speakers of any other language. That is partly because they have such a large population, but in my linguistic studies, I was talk that Chinese has a high chance of become the trade language of the world. More and more countries use Chinese as the Chinese people overflow the bounds of their crowded land and spread out as businessmen. I would work on Chinese if I was you.
I studied some and found it isn't exactly an easy language, but I think you will find it worth while.

English, including to the Japanese and Chinese has become the language of the deal. Bone up on your English and you'll be in vogue.

I reckon Japanese is the language to learn. Here in Australia even our running for prime minister, are learning the language.Maybe they know something we don't know
