I'd say that Chinese jiaozi/guotie are pretty similar to Japanese gyoza. Given that they have the same name (when written in Chinese characters), it looks like the Japanese recognise the similarity. The Korean version is very similar, too.
Since the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean versions are more similar to each other than they are to other types of dumplings within their own countries, I'd call them very similar.
