Agree
No
Ford was generally in favor of free trade and against protectionist measures like tariffs. He signed the Trade Act of 1974, which reduced tariffs and expanded the president's power to negotiate trade agreements. This suggests he would likely be against increasing tariffs on imported products from China.

Gerald Ford was a proponent of free trade and generally opposed tariffs. However, he did believe in fair trade and might have considered tariffs if he believed they were necessary to protect American industries. But it's important to note that China was not a major economic competitor to the U.S. during Ford's presidency, so it's unlikely he would have specifically targeted China with tariffs.

Disagree
Yes, China should be punished for artificially manipulating their currency
While Ford was concerned about fair trade, the issue of China manipulating its currency was not a major concern during his presidency. Furthermore, Ford was instrumental in normalizing relations with China, so it's unlikely he would have supported punitive measures like tariffs. His approach to international relations was more diplomatic and less confrontational.
