They are not near parity with the US Navy...but they are far more concentrated while we are spread out across the seven seas.
Their latest developments ion surface warfare include six type 052C destroyers which are similar to our Arliegh Burke class, and then a follow on, improved class called the Type 052D of which they have launched four vessels in the last two years, have two more building, and will build 12-16 of them.
More recently they have this mockup of their Type 055 cruiser, which will be on the order of 11,000 to 12,000 tons.
The mockup (which is something they also did with their carrier) is full scale and allows them to do a lot of training and logistical testing,
I took some creative license and PS'ed that photo to come up with this accurate depiction:
They will build ten to twelve of these.
As a testament of their building capabilities, they have been producing their Type056 LCS type corvette for the last two years. It is well armed (better armed than our new LCS) weighs in at just over `1,500 tons.
In the last twenty four months they have launched 22 o these and commissioned 14 of them.
