Which is easier to learn, Chinese or Japanese?
Japanese pronunciation is much easier. It has a simple syllable structure, no difficult vowels/consonants, and doesn't have tones.
In terms of writing systems, it's difficult to say which is harder. Japanese has phonetic characters and uses a smaller number of kanji (ideographic characters), but each kanji in Japanese can often be read in multiple ways, which isn't so common in Chinese. I would say Japanese is easier at first because of the phonetic characters, but it will eventually get very hard when you are trying to read tougher words like 三味線 where a character has a nonstandard reading.
I have no idea which is harder in terms of grammar. It probably depends on your native language...

This is one of the most stupid questions, actually very common on antimoon. How can you compare these two different languages??? and then difficult for whom?
