You have a choice of:
Japanese - advanced economy, good country
China - industrialising, screwed up country
There are actually 10 Chinese languages which are (in order of the amount of people who speak them): Mandarin, Wu, Cantonese, Min, Xiang, Hakka, Gan, Jin, Hui and Ping. If you're going to learn one I'd suggest Mandarin.
India - industrialising, has problems but massively improving
India has loads of languages spoken in different areas. The most common are English, Punjabi, Hindi and Gujarati I believe but there are 30+ in total.
