The President of the Chinese Supreme Court, Wang Shengjun, recently stated that “the overall interests of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and government” override the law.

His remark has drawn heated criticism. Many contend that this is a violation of the judicial spirit.
And what is this "spirit?" >>>>

The ‘overall interest of the CCP and the government’ implies that the judge must solve judicial cases according to political interests. It’s simply an expression of the politicization of the judiciary.”
Ahh, yes, they are certainly on the road to freedom from state repression!
Give this story a few months to die down and Mr. Shengiun will dissapear, poof!
