Senator Aric Nesbitt has expressed strong opinions regarding China and its influence in the United States through a series of tweets posted on June 5, 2025. The Michigan State Senator, known for his conservative stance, addressed various issues related to China's relationship with the U.S., touching on topics such as visas, educational institutions, and environmental concerns.

In a tweet posted at 01:37:40 UTC, Nesbitt stated his position clearly by asserting that "China is not our friend! @realDonaldTrump is right. END the visas." This statement aligns with former President Donald Trump's policy to limit Chinese student visas during his administration.

Later that day at 14:48:12 UTC, Nesbitt made a reference to Hillsdale College in another tweet. He commented that "It’s safe to say @Hillsdale would NEVER let the CCP operate on their campus." Hillsdale College is known for its conservative values and independence from federal funding.

Continuing his critique of China's impact on the environment and education, Nesbitt tweeted at 15:19:07 UTC about bio weapons and their environmental consequences. He questioned why there was no statement concerning Chinese students at the University of Michigan (UM) by asking "You know what’s really bad for the environment? Chinese bio weapons that target our crops. Still waiting for your statement on the CCP “Students” at UM. Are you afraid to admit Trump was right to end the student visas?"
