A Taiwanese Filibuster when a second or third party snatches the documents away from the principal signing them, creating a highly symbolic situation that is quite pointless because they can just print another set of documents to be signed in like 2 minutes. The symbolism is highly symbolic, thus creating the Taiwanese Filibuster. This term is based on that time in May, 2024 when Guo Guowen, a Member of the Taiwanese Parliament, swiftly snatched a legal Bill's documents and made a dramatic dash to prevent it from being passed, as shown on an online video.
Mr. PHBL: We are pleased to present you this law to be promulgated, Sir.
Sir: I am pleased to sign this.
Guo Guowen: I AM GOING TO SNATCH THESE DOCUMENTS IN PROTEST.
Mr. PHBL: *facepalm* oh golly what do we have here, a Taiwanese Filibuster. Toby, can you please re-print this 18 page document so Mr. Sir and us can sign it before another lunatic comes in here.
Sir: Huh.
