As Trump Tweets, China Quietly Weighs Options to Retaliate
China’s leaders are biting their tongues as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump uses Twitter to rattle relations between the world’s biggest economies. Trump lashed out at China over the weekend, saying it stole an underwater drone from the U.S. Navy in an “unprecedented act.” Beijing’s response was muted. The state-run China Daily’s English-language edition warned Monday that Trump’s inexperience in diplomacy might lead to confrontations between the two nations, while the Communist Party-affiliated Global Times mocked his demeanor as “lagging far behind the White House spokespersons.”

Lynch Shoots Down Podesta Attack on FBI
Loretta Lynch on Sunday morning dismissed the harsh attack by former Hillary Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta on the Justice Department and the FBI’s handling of the investigation into the Democratic National Committee hack. The dismissal came during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “What I can tell you is that this investigation was taken seriously from the beginning,” Lynch told Tapper. “This is an incredibly serious issue. I can’t comment on Mr. Podesta’s sources or where he gets his information or why he has that view, but what I can say is that he’s not involved in the ongoing investigation.”

In the Cathedral of Monza, located in the Lombardia (Lombardy) region in northern Italy, one of the most important relics of the Christian faith is conserved. The Cathedral itself, built in 595 by Lombard queen Theodelinda, enlarged in 1390 and again in 1606, saw the crowning of Holy Roman Emperors as well as Napoleon. The Iron Crown of Lombardy (Corona Ferrea Langobardiae in Latin) is made of six square plates of hammered gold held together by hinges and an inner reinforcement band around the middle of the inside, and is believed to have come from the early Byzantine era 330-171 A.D.

The risk that regulators pose to business is up 79% from 2010—a burden that falls heavy on industry. Trump voters were right to see the Obama administration and its designated heir, Hillary Clinton, as hostile to industry. Under Mrs. Clinton, regulatory risk would have only increased further. Mr. Trump pledged to reverse course. Voters in manufacturing and agricultural states heard both messages loud and clear.
