Don't just read the titles from Western media. The titles will seem to suggest that Xi is intent on fighting a war. Read it with context.

Chinese President Xi Jinping again urged the military to be ready for war as the country faced an increasingly unstable and uncertain security situation, state media reported on Tuesday.
“The task of military struggle is arduous and heavy,” Xi said, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
“The entire military must … focus on combat ability as the fundamental and only criterion, concentrate all energy on fighting a war, direct all work towards warfare and speed up to build the ability to win.”

This is exhortation that all leaders will and should give to their military. No need to be alarm over it.
