Xing Xu published a paper about a specimen with gastroliths:

Xu, X. (1997): A new psittacosaur (Psittacosaurus mazongshanensis, sp.
nov.) from Mazongshan Area, Gansu Province, China.- In: Z. Dong (Ed.):
Sino-Japanese Silk Road Dinosaur Expedition, China Ocean Press, pp.
48-67, Beijing.

How many Psittacosaurus fossils associated with gastroliths were found
in China at all?
