So the best way to say if it is equivalent to US' 70-80 tech is to compare the air defence capabilities. 170 destroyer's air defence system is based on China developed HQ-9 missile. Only you know its performance then you can precisely say which year's US tech its equivalent.

The first US Navy Phalanx was deployed onboard the USS Coral Sea in 1980, does anyone know the date of the first Chinese CWIS deployement. I doubt that they had it back in the 80's chinatea.
