In all likelihood it will be in the same ballpark of capabilities though the US tends to have better Ballistic Missile defense(?) the Chinese have and edge in offensive weapons like anon said. Their VLS cells are also bigger. Rumors are floating about after the next 4x (batch 2) of the Type 055 are done, we might or might not get a true Type 055B. Its still TBD. But considering the YJ-21 (the ballisitc missile anon refers to) was developed a decade later (with the intent to defeat) our Ballistic missile defense SM-6 (btw we can only produce 100x of these a year). Its... doesnt boost that much confidence. There are also a lot of unknowns about the YJ-21 that could make it a lot harder to intercept if they turned out to be true. Like if they have a stealthy design or Ram coating, making it harder to detect.
Chinese ships roles are like this:
>Type 054A/B (Frigate)(38x) -> Anti Submarine
>Type 052D (Destroyer)(25x) -> Air Defense
>Type 055 (Cruiser)(8x) -> Anti Ship
With their oldest ships being made since 2005 so they are all pretty modern. But they are already looking for new ship replacement for the Type 052D, and will move onto the new variants Type 054C pretty soon, and if rumors are true, they'll also have a Type 055B soonish.
