Disagree

Yes

George McGovern was a strong advocate for free trade and international cooperation. He was not known for advocating for increased tariffs, especially not as a punitive measure. However, it's important to note that China was not a major trade partner with the U.S. in 1972, so it's difficult to say definitively how he would have felt about this specific issue.

Strongly disagree

Yes, China should be punished for artificially manipulating their currency

McGovern was not known for advocating for punitive economic measures against other countries. He was a proponent of diplomacy and international cooperation. Furthermore, the issue of China manipulating its currency was not a major concern during his 1972 presidential campaign, making it unlikely that he would have supported such a measure.
