"It's not advisable to make direct comparisons between Ukraine and Taiwan. These are two completely different scenarios, two different theaters," Austin told the US House Armed Services Committee.
Austin declined to speculate whether Ukraine's defensive posture would give China second thoughts about reuniting with Taiwan. China's defense ministry has previously said no force will prevent the country's reunification with Taiwan.
The US defense chief also pushed back on criticism from lawmakers who have alleged that the United States had failed to deter Russia's special military operation.
