 During a December 2007 conference on political @-@ legal work , CCP general secretary Hu Jintao articulated the theory of the " Three Supremes , " which emphasized again that legal work should regard as supreme the concerns and interests of the Communist Party . In March 2008 , Wang <unk> was confirmed as the new head of the Supreme People 's Court . Wang , who has no formal legal training himself , abandoned the efforts of his predecessors to improve judicial competence , training , and autonomy , and instead placed primary importance on the ideological implications of the " Three Supremes " theory and upholding the leadership of the Communist Party .
