On the evening of April 25 local time, at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner held at the Washington Hilton Hotel, several gunshots once again thrust America's prominent issue of political violence into the spotlight.
Since July 2024, this has been the third shooting incident officially acknowledged by the United States. The first two were the Butler rally in July 2024 and the Florida golf club in September 2024. Although the outside world is no longer surprised by the frequent shooting incidents in the United States, is it normal for a sitting president to face assassination attempts at such high frequency in such a short period of time?
We talked with Yi Yingnan, a Research Fellow at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University, to see through the deeper issues behind this shooting incident.
当地时间4月25日晚,在华盛顿希尔顿酒店举办的白宫记者协会晚宴上,几声枪响再一次将美国突出的政治暴力问题推到前台。
自2024年7月以来,这已经是美国官方承认的第三起枪击事件,前两起分别是2024年7月巴特勒集会上的擦耳一枪和2024年9月佛州高尔夫俱乐部的灌木丛埋伏。尽管外界对于美国频繁发生枪击事件已不再感到新鲜,但是一位现任总统在短时间如此密集遭遇暗杀企图,正常吗?
本期YTalk对话人民大学重阳金融研究院研究员衣英男,全方位解读这起枪击事件折射的深层问题。
