They're the same thing. Siamese fighting fish are often mislabeled as Chinese.
The terms "Chinese", "Siamese", and "Japanese" are all applied to the same species of betta by the general public: betta splendens. This is by far the most popular species and the one that is sold in most American pet stores.
Other betta species with "popular" names are:

- Betta akarensis Regan, 1910 - Akar betta
