In 2016, in order to protest against the judicial purge of him by the Beijing Prosecutor's Office, he appeared at the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office to "beg". He brought his own mattress and pillows and lay down on the driveway of the Beijing Prosecutor's Gate to start a sit-in and a hunger strike.

After being in and out of prison many times, Dong Niantai embarked on the road of debt collection and established a debt collection company. At the same time, he invested in rehabilitated services and hired former prisoners to engage in collection work. He has been in the news many times for his high-profile actions and spicy remarks. On December 11, 2001, Dong Niantai went to the Presidential Palace in 24 Cadillac limousines and publicly proposed to the then Vice President Annette Annette, but failed. The ceremony was grand and sensational. In 2024, he was dissatisfied with the launch of Operation Blue Bird by citizen groups and sent threatening text messages to many legislators of the Democratic Progressive Party. The content threatened to find inmates and form a "Black Hawk Unit" to eliminate "Blue Bird". The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office prosecuted him for intimidating the public and other crimes.
