In the 2020 Taiwanese legislative election he was listed eighth on the Kuomintang party list but relinquished his placement after public criticism and accepted a nomination to be placed at the top of the New Party at-large party list. The New Party did not meet the 5% vote threshold and therefore none of its party list legislators were elected.

In March of 2019, during a cross-strait forum in Fujian, he stated that pro-independence figures could be beheaded during an annexation of Taiwan by China. In December 2019, he was criticized for appearing on Chinese state media discussing details of Taiwan's defense systems.

In 2015 he was sued twice by the DPP for defamation over statements he made regarding presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen's real-estate dealings. Former KMT president Ma Ying-jeou also considered a lawsuit against Chiu in 2020 for alleging that Ma was responsible for his removal from the KMT legislator-at-large party list in the 2020 Taiwanese legislative election.

In July 2006, he filed a special funds abuse lawsuit against then-president Chen Shui-bian. In November 2019, he filed a defamation lawsuit against Taipei mayor Ko Wen-je for a comment that his nomination for the Kuomintang and New Party legislator-at-large list in the 2020 Taiwanese legislative election could indicate that China's Taiwan Affairs Office has "control" over the two parties..

In the 2004 Taiwanese legislative election, as a member of the People First Party, he was one of five legislators elected from the Kaohsiung 2nd electoral district. In the 2008 Taiwanese legislative election he was listed fifth on the Kuomintang at-large party list, and was elected to the legislature. In the 2012 Taiwanese legislative election, he ran on the New Party ticket in Kaohsiung's 7th district, losing to the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Chao Din-lin.

Chiu was indicted in April 2004 for attempting to break into the Kaohsiung District Court building after the announcement of Chen Shui-bian's presidential election victory, for which he was sentenced to serve a year in prison.
