As far as I know, Chinese is easier to learn than English.
Chinese is easier to learn in terms of basics, simply because chinese has a simple writing system when it comes to its more commonly used quotients.
When you get into English you hit all the barriers right away. There is structure, but it is different from the Latin languages. It also has a lot more exceptions to its rules that other languages simply don't have, creating 'redundancies' in the mind of foreigners who try to learn the language.
Once you get passed basic Chinese, and delve into its different writing systems and complex tonal nuances, you get a much more difficult language.
