Type 052D is in many ways superior to Arleigh Burke. Arleigh Burke is pretty old, commissioned in 1991 and hasn't had a major upgrade since. The lack of AESA and complete VLS gives Type 052D an upper hand over Arleigh Burke. There is talks of Flight III Arleigh Burke but with COVID around it's not likely it will ever become a reality.

052DL destroyer first ship 156 Zibo ship appeared in the sea for the first time
East China Seas Fleet, Sixth Destroyer Division. This is considered an ace or elite destroyer squadron among Chinese Navy destroyer squadrons. Destroyers have pennants 150, 151, 152, 153 (four 052C), 154 (052D), 155 (052D second block), 156 (052DL).
Do you mean to say "There will be 6 destroyers entering PLAN service this year (2020)".
101 is Type 055. 102, I think is the speculated pennant number of the 2nd 055.
156, 122, and 132 are 052DL.
121 is 052D.
