In the Sudan Red case, involving the illegal import of chili powder containing Sudan Red by six companies including Kaohsiung Jin Zhan where Li Yanting is responsible, Li Yanting was accused of violating the Food Safety Law, fraud, and anti-money laundering. During the first court session, Li Yanting only admitted to part of the charges, such as false labeling, and even claimed that Wellcome had visited the factory before purchasing the products, indicating approval. The case caused a food safety crisis in Taiwan, with Li Yanting and other defendants denying fraud or violations of food safety laws. The defense lawyer Lin Shimeng used examples like a duck liver mixed as goose liver case to argue that the judge should follow the Supreme Court's intent. Another lawyer, Lin Kai, referred to Wellcome as an example, highlighting their certification process. The defense argued that even if Chinese products were considered inferior, the prosecutor should provide concrete evidence before invoking the food safety law.

During a DPP caucus press conference regarding the legislative exercise law and the penal code with 7 constitutional explanations, Hsu went there to support fellow legislator Chen Yu-chen, causing chaos by measuring 100cm near the DPP caucus press room and questioning if this was 'surveillance.' This led to a dispute between media and Hsu, as Chu Jui-Hsiung later remarked sarcastically that if they wanted the cameras, they should come to their side. This incident occurred amid ongoing tensions between the KMT and DPP over constitutional issues and media involvement.
