We don't know the production rate of many military equipment types in China. It doesn't necessarily have to be a secret for us to not have a number given to us.

It will be big different between war time and now. I'd say much higher than Russia and combined Western countries. China control the supply chain of main ingredient of gunpowder

Eh, I actually don't think (and would not bet on it) that current production of artillery shells is above current Russian production.
But I would be willing to bet, that they could quickly expand (increasing shifts AND also set up new lines) in a few months (in which, stored shells should last for), to the point it gets a lot higher than current Russian production.
I don't think there's any reason for China to be mass producing artillery shells at the moment.
War over Taiwan isn't going to be artillery intensive. Sure, you will see artillery action, but nowhere at the level of Ukraine-Russia war. If the war escalates and the US, Japan, Philippines are to be fought it still won't be an artillery intensive war. Airforce and Navy will be the main players.
PHL 16 would possibly be the most important tactical fire support and suppression system in the conflict. Several years ago, the PLAGF might have been a spectator until landingcraft had ferried them across. But today their guided MLRS probably would be the highest volume weapon in thr conflict.
Isn't the army is still busy using up stock accumulated from the bad-blood days with the Soviets and Vietnam?
