vegetarianism 素食主义
means no animals for meals.

veganism 纯素主义
means no animals for meals or clothes.

However, these words are not popular in China. I don't think Chinese people even understand those jargons.

You'd better say 我不吃肉 (I don't eat meat) if you are a vegetarian, and you'd better say 我不吃肉，连衣服也不用动物制品 (I don't eat meat, not even animals for clothes) if you are a vegan.

Wikipedia distinguishes them like this:

维根主义（英语：Veganism）

and

素食主义（英语：vegetarianism）

维根 here is a transliterated loanword from English.

---

Wikipedia also offers the translation:

纯素主义

for veganism.

---

Although these words, may, work in their written forms - you might generally not be understood using these words colloquially, because nobody really talks like this. Better alternatives would be:

• 不吃肉 = vegetarianism


• 不吃动物(产)品 = veganism
