Yeah no the US will still dominate the sea & air for the foreseeable future
Airforce wise the same things but the US will replaced a huge part of its airforce with 5th gen and later gen in the near future. Also if conflict do start china will have go to war alone while the US have friends to back her up and serves as force multipliers.
But you only calculate the destroyers. How about fregat, covete, submarine, litoral combat ,etc?
Besides, it is not clear from where the data you bring and how accurate it is.
For example, currently China can produce 2 x Type 055 per year, hence 10 years from 2020 the number of 055 are supposed to be 22 instead of just 16 as displayed in your picture; same case with Type 052.
