Emphases are mine.
Xi said the military should "comprehensively strengthen training and preparation for war, (and) ensure troops have solid combat capabilities", CCTV reported.
Soldiers must "enhance their strategic deterrent and combat capability," Xi said.
China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory, has stepped up its shows of force around the self-ruled island in recent years.
On Monday, Beijing had deployed fighter jets, drones, warships and coast guard vessels to encircle Taiwan -- its fourth round of large-scale war games around the democratic island in just over two years.
China's communist leaders have insisted they will not rule out using force to bring Taiwan under Beijing's control.
Xi on Thursday said the Chinese military must "strongly safeguard the country's strategic security and core interests", according to the CCTV report.
The dispute between China and Taiwan dates back to a civil war in which the nationalist forces of Chiang Kai-shek were defeated by Mao Zedong's communist fighters and fled to the island in 1949.
China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since then.

We need You today and tonight, tomorrow, and forevermore! No one can ever take Your place or provide that which You do, that whom You are, and our adoration for You. We give ourselves to You, again today.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Have a Nice Saturday Enjoying Doing the Things You Love to Do! I made a dozen breakfast burritos for a trip we’re taking in a bit here. More later:). Be the best person you can be, every minute of every day.
What if we completely destroyed the entire microchip industry evacuated the entire population of Taiwan to Puerto Rico and then build new factories there. Then we could tell Xi, “Okay, you can have Taiwan now.” Taiwanese dominance of global microchip industry is based on the people, not the land.
A beautiful prayer! Thank you!
