36 pops of J20 in year 2018 is an expected number. With 3 production line, China can churn out 48 J20 per year. China can produce 120 units of fighter jets a year easily. I don't know the full potential of producing fighters in war time.
That is why you need a military-industrial complex.
United States can easily produce up to 2000-3000 aircrafts during war time.
Boeing alone produces 900 large civil airliners every year. These production lines can be slightly altered to produce all kinds of aircrafts during emergency.
This is the benefit of a military-industrial complex.
China has this advantage in ship building industry. During war times it can literally just ratchet up war ship production by 3-4 fold easily.
