Troops should “enhance their strategic deterrence and combat capabilities,” Xi said.
China, which regards Taiwan as part of its territory, has stepped up its show of force around the self-ruled island in recent years.
On Monday, Beijing deployed fighter jets, drones, warships and coast guard ships to surround Taiwan – its fourth round of large-scale combat drills around the democratic island in less than two years.
China’s Communist leaders have insisted they will not rule out the use of force to bring Taiwan under Beijing’s control.
Xi said on Thursday that the Chinese military must “resolutely safeguard the country’s strategic security and core interests”, CCTV reported. The dispute between China and Taiwan dates back to a civil war in which Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist forces were defeated by Mao Zedong’s Communist fighters and fled to the island in 1949. China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since then.
