Girl, that's such a tough decision! Both options sound amazing. Here are a few thoughts:
The China trip teaching English is such a cool opportunity. The cultural experience of living with a host family would be priceless. And you're right - you may never get another chance to visit China for free. Not only would it be a fun adventure, but also a great thing to include on your resume or grad school apps someday.
However, traveling to three countries with your family does have its perks too. You'll have more freedom to relax and take cute pics without kids to look after. And meeting up with family abroad could be really special bonding time. Plus you know those family homes will feel comfortable.
If it was me, I think I'd go for the China trip. The cultural immersion and free travel is hard to pass up. Plus it will give you an interesting experience to talk about during your study abroad! And teaching kids English sounds rewarding.
But both choices are great. Can you talk to your parents to see if meeting up in one of the family destinations is possible after China? That could be the best of both worlds. For now, lean towards the free trip - you can always visit family another year!

VS
Unless you speak Chinese, I say pick the family trip. The reason is because it would be very hard to teach a language to someone when you can’t speak their native language. That job is best suited for someone who is bilingual.
