Chinese GB 2099.1-1996 Class II Non-Grounded
The Chinese GB 2099.1-1996 Class II non-grounded plug and receptacle appear to be physically identical to the standard NEMA 1-15 non-grounded plug and receptacle found in North and South America. In many cases a North American plug will mate with Chinese receptacles without an adapter. However, the Chinese standard holds to tighter dimensional standards than those in North America. This means that in some cases North American plugs will not quite fit into Chinese receptacles. Furthermore, most North American NEMA 1-15 plugs are polarized, meaning that one vertical blade on the plug is taller than the other. Many Chinese receptacles will not accept the wider vertical blade on a polarized North American plug. An adapter to the Japanese JIS 8303 Class II non-grounded plug will allow North American plugs to interface with these non-grounded Chinese receptacles.

Japanese JIS 8303 Class I Grounded
The Japanese JIS 8303 Class I grounded plug and receptacle appear to be physically identical to the standard NEMA 5-15 grounded plug and receptacle found in North and South America. In many cases a North American plug will mate with Japanese receptacles without an adapter. However, the Japanese standard holds to tighter dimensional standards than those in North America. This means that in some cases North American plugs will not quite fit into Japanese receptacles. Furthermore, most North American NEMA 5-15 plugs are polarized, meaning that one vertical blade on the plug is taller than the other. Many Japanese receptacles will not accept the wider vertical blade on a polarized North American plug. It is advisable to have a Japanese adapter on hand just in case.
Additionally, Class I grounded plugs and receptacles are used less frequently in Japan than in North America. The preponderance of receptacles you are likely to find in Japan are Class II non-grounded receptacles, which do not have the round female grounding contact. As a result, these receptacles will not accept North American grounded (3 wire) plugs. It is advisable to also have an adapter on hand which will accept a 3 wire grounded plug, but only has the two vertical blades on the plug side.
