You might expect the answer rice/米飯/米饭. Actually China is a vast country, and the diet varies greatly. In Northern China, steamed buns/饅頭/馒头 and noodles/麵條/面条, both made of wheat flour, are also consumed.
I stop here first and see if this thread will be deleted.

It is interesting. Because of your search I tried to find a comparison of rice consumption per capita by country and the 1st thing Google had given was this website in Japanese:

According to this website, the average consumption in China is 107.2kg per person per year, not even in the world top 5. The champion goes to Cambodia at 237.5kg, and a close runner-up is Vietnam, at 236.5kg. It is a bit surprising though to know the average consumption in Japan is merely 55.2kg.
