"If you suddenly receive such free aid, you need to pay a certain unthinkable price," Feng told reporters on Thursday when asked to comment on the plan.
Earlier this month, the White House said it would send $500 million worth of free military aid to Taiwan after deliveries of American weapons, including Stinger missiles and F-16V fighter jets, were delayed.
According to Republican Congresswoman Young Kim, the value of the items Taiwan is waiting for has now reached $21 billion.
"These [extra] weapons will be items readily available in the US inventory," Chiu said, adding that the timing of the delivery would be announced by the US.
A Taiwanese military source said the package of free weapons would include portable Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, TOW 2B Aero anti-tank missiles and new Javelin mid-range anti-armour missiles.
