Because of his long-term illness with diabetes mellitus, three toes of his left foot had to be amputated after being infected while he was inspecting a flooded area in Keelung City in 2002.

During his reelection bid for a second term as Keelung City Mayor, Hsu was accused of involvement in a land procurement scandal. However, with support from Kuomintang Chairman Ma Ying-jeou, Hsu easily defeated his opponent. He won the 2005 Republic of China local election on 3 December 2005 and took office on 20 December 2005.

In September 2006, Hsu was expelled from the Kuomintang after he was sentenced to seven years in prison by Taiwan Keelung District Court, which found him guilty of corruption for trying to sell a piece of his own land to the bus department of the Keelung City Government at a large profit. However, he retained his mayoralty position. He then protested his innocence and said that he would appeal the ruling, a move which kept him out of prison under the Law of the Republic of China.
