对华政策的美国政客之一。在这次辩论对华政策时洪博培的语言相当露骨。居然公开宣称要利用美国政府在中国内部的内应、网民和年轻人搞垮中国，只有这样美国才能重振经济，保住世界霸主地位。语言如此露骨，主持人都听不下去了，几次想打断他的讲话。这也让很多中国网友理想起在所谓中国茉莉花运动时，洪博培曾经到现场指导，被网友认出后被迫狼狈离开的事件。

这是有关对话的文字部分：

Jon Huntsman: And 80 million bloggers. And they are bringing about change, the likes of which is gonna take China down.

Scott Pelley: We're gonna have to leave it there, Governor.

Jon Huntsman: While we have an opportunity to go up and win back our economic--

Scott Pelley: Governor--

Jon Huntsman: --manufacturing muscles. That's all I wanna do as president.
