The Type 055 destroyer is a class of guided missile destroyers that is in development for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force. In an interview in 2015, Rear Admiral Yin Zhuo countered Western media claims that the Type 055 represented a 'game changer in naval warfare'. He regarded the Type 055 as equivalent to the U.S Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and the emphasis of its estimated 10,000-ton displacement was exaggerated; the existing Japanese Atago-class destroyer is over 9,000 tons, the American Zumwalt-class destroyer is over 12,000 tons, and the Russian Udaloy-class destroyer is over 8,000 tons. Further stated that if the Type 055 were to mount laser weapons or electromagnetic railguns, the ship would require integrated electric propulsion to meet their power consumption
General characteristics
Displacement: ~10,000 tons
Length: 175 m (574 ft)[2]
Armament:

USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) is a guided missile destroyer of the United States Navy. She is the lead ship of the Zumwalt class and the first ship to be named for Admiral Elmo Zumwalt.[8][9] Zumwalt has stealth capabilities, having a radar cross-section akin to a fishing boat despite her large size.[10] On 7 December 2015, Zumwalt began her sea trial preparatory to joining the Pacific Fleet.[11] The ship was commissioned in Baltimore on 15 October 2016.[4] She is homeported in San Diego, California

Indeed today DDG-1000 no carry weapons except its main gun
I found that the only DDG1000 stealth advantage, but it is not invisible, its RCS caliber a fishing boat (about 100m2) however it is measured by radar fishermen and ads by US Navy. I do not believe in advertising
Type 055 can operate as a better ground attack with DH-10 (> 4000km), the anti-ship role it YJ-18 (> 500km, Mach 3)
Air defense capability of the Type 055 is also better. With HHQ9 (>200km)
In a sea battle Type 055 will win before DDG-1000
