He said even if Chinese forces were planning a speedy attack they would face difficulties trying to take the island in a sudden move as they would have to cross the Taiwan Strait that separates the two.
"They would still have to overcome this," Chiu said. "It wouldn't be as fast as a week or two."
China has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control and continues to mount almost daily military patrols near the island.
"I've said it before - as soon as the guns sound we will keep going to the end. But we absolutely will not provoke."
Taiwan's democratically-elected government says only Taiwan's people have the right to decide their future.
While Ukraine has won widespread public support in Taiwan, and Taiwan's government has sent humanitarian aid, China has refused to condemn Russia and the two countries announced a "no limits" partnership shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine.
China has said that it is a "naked double standard" to seek to conflate the issues of Taiwan and Ukraine as the island has always been part of China and is entirely a domestic matter.
