Disagree

Yes, China should be punished for artificially manipulating their currency

Truman's presidency was marked by the beginning of the Cold War, but China's alleged currency manipulation would not have been a major issue in 1948. Therefore, it's unlikely that Truman would support punitive tariffs for this reason. Furthermore, Truman's approach to international relations was more focused on diplomacy and cooperation rather than punitive measures.
