From a quick glance it seems to be both at the same time.isn't the Jiangshi closer to a zombie? The words are used to describe the modern rendition of the zombie as well.
'Jiangshi (僵尸, literally “the stiff corpse”) is a type of a vampiric monster present in the Chinese folklore. Since it is known to be a dead creature that sucks out the living force of humans, it can be regarded as a Chinese equivalent of the legendary Western vampire or zombie.'
