"Jackal" family spotted in a nature reserve in China

Hello,
I submit you a footage of a canid family that has been spotted and filmed in a Chinese reserve in Yunnan.
Jackal family spotted in nature reserve in China's Yunnan
They have been labelled as "Jackals" but for me they look more like Dholes (I presume that there have been an error of translation between these 2 species) with their general look and their reddish coat, without grey on the back.
A footage of Dholes would also be more significant in terms of conservation, as this species is EN in the wild, while the Golden Jackal (only Jackal species to live in Asia) is LC and is expanding its range at least in Europe.
Do you agree with my impression ?

Yeah, that looks like a dhole to me.

Definitely dholes. Per wikipedia, "the Chinese word for dhole (豺; Chái) is often confused with 'jackal' or 'wolf', resulting in many confusions and mistranslations of dholes as jackals or wolves."

Thanks for this explanation about Chinese language (that I definitely don't know).

I didn't either! I just knew that several of the larger canids have a variety of wolf/dog/etc names beyond their main name, so went looking too see if that was the case for dholes.
