Slightly agree

Yes, China should be punished for artificially manipulating their currency

While Dole was generally supportive of free trade, he also had a strong stance against unfair trade practices. If he believed that China was artificially manipulating their currency to the detriment of the U.S., he might have supported some form of retaliation, including potentially increased tariffs. However, this would likely not have been his first choice of action.
