Apparently, the 17th 052d from Jiangnan ( 22nd in all, 6th unit this year) has been launched today, sharing almost no fervour with the 075 from Huangpu.

Nobody cares about those destroyers now, including carrier #2. LOL Now all eyes are on carrier #3.

003 might be the highlight, but 052d are bread and butter of PLAN. They are required across a wide range of operations just like arleigh burke class for USN
Then again, 052d can be deployed without carriers, but can 003 risk being deployed without its DDG escorts?

Il semblerait que le 22e destroyer Type 052D a été lancé aujourd'hui au chantier naval Jiangnan Changxing, jour de la sortie de la cale du porte-hélicoptères Type 075. Si cela est confirmé, il s'agira du 6e de classe mis à l'eau en 2019, également le 9e destroyer de l'année.

It appears that the 22nd Destroyer Type 052D was launched today at the Jiangnan Changxing shipyard, the day of the release of the Type 075 Helicopter Hold. If confirmed, this will be the 6th of the class. in 2019, also the 9th destroyer of the year.

Come on, he obviously wasn't talking about the military utility of the different types.

He was basically making the point that there are so many new projects with the PLAN, that what was the focus of such servor even just a few years ago has now been overshadowed by additional more exciting types for the PLA watching community.
